Add QInputDevice::availableVirtualGeometry()

This property tells what part of the virtual desktop the input device
can access.

This is not a one-to-one mapping with a QScreen, because a Wacom tablet
might be configured to access a whole desktop, a whole screen, or an
area corresponding to the drawing area of one window; a mouse normally
can access the whole desktop (so QScreen::virtualGeometry() would be
identical to QInputDevice::availableVirtualGeometry()); a touchscreen
normally is mapped to one screen but could be mapped differently; etc.
It's possible to find the intersection of the rectangular area with the
screen(s) that it overlaps, though.
