Summary:
At the moment it's broken for many of the laptops I've seen, this opens the possibility to start toying with them. The right fix would be to get the kernel to emit the right signals but I'm afraid for some hardware it will be close to impossible.
This includes a kconfig variable variable that will detect it as follows: if there's a touchscreen, when the touchpad gets removed we are on tablet mode (i.e. the pointing will be done using the finger), when it's connected back tablet mode will be restored.

Summary:
The main reason for not having it as a mandatory dependency was that BSD
doesn't support it. But as I learned recently it is available on our CI
system. So BSDs have support now.
Even more it showed that the code doesn't compile if the dependency is
missing. And there's one thing I hate: broken build configuration
options.
So let's make UDEV and libinput a required dependency and get rid of the
problems.
Test Plan: Compiles

Summary:
expose in the libinput wrapper a property that tells whether
a tablet mode switch input device is present on the machine,
expose it trough dbus
Test Plan:
still not complete, I need a way to either access the connection
from TabletModeManager or setting to TabletModeManager from input.cpp

Summary:
depends from D9521
listens to switch events and updates the tablet mode status
which is exposed to dbus in the org.kde.KWin.TabletModeManager
interface
Test Plan:
as hardware support is limited, testing of clients
so far is done by the setter in the dbus property,
which should be removed from the final version.
It has been tested to successfully work on a Thinkpad.
