Add libinput support
Supports relative pointer, axis, keyboard and touch events. libinput support is only available in combination with libudev. libxkbcommon is required to perform key mapping. For now the default keymap is used always (selected when building xkbcommon). [ChangeLog][QtGui] Added a plugin to get mouse, keyboard and touch events via libinput.

+This is a generic plug-in for libinput 0.6.0
+(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput)
+
+Supports relative pointer, axis, keyboard and touch events. udev is
+required. xkbcommon is used to perform keyboard mapping. The dependency on
+xkbcommon is optional. However, no key events will be generated without it.
+
+The plugin is integrated with configure and is built automatically when the
+necessary dependencies are present.
+
+To use this plugin with eglfs, set QT_QPA_EGLFS_DISABLE_INPUT=1 before launching
+the application and pass -plugin libinput.
+
+To get info and debug messages from libinput, enable the logging category
+qt.qpa.input.
+
+For the time being xkbcommon's default keymap is used always. Support for
+changing it will be added in the future.
