`gcc-14` added a new `-Wcalloc-transposed-args` warning recently. It
detected minor infelicity in `calloc()` API usage in `wlroots`:
../backend/libinput/tablet_pad.c: In function 'add_pad_group_from_libinput':
../backend/libinput/tablet_pad.c:36:38: error: 'calloc' sizes specified with 'sizeof' in the earlier argument and not in the later argument [-Werror=calloc-transposed-args]
36 | group->rings = calloc(sizeof(unsigned int), group->ring_count);
| ^~~~~~~~
../backend/libinput/tablet_pad.c:36:38: note: earlier argument should specify number of elements, later size of each element

On newer versions of libinput, the event LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS
has been deprecated in favour of LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL,
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_FINGER and
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
Where new events are provided by the backend, ignore
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS, receive high-resolution scroll events from
libinput and emit the appropiate wlr_pointer signal.
Currently, the "wlr_event_pointer_axis" event stores low-resolution
values in its "delta_discrete" field. Low-resolution values are always
multiples of one, i.e., 1 for one wheel detent, 2 for two wheel
detents, etc.
In order to simplify internal handling of events, always transform in
the backend from the low-resolution value into the high-resolution
value.
The transformation is performed by multiplying by 120. The 120 magic
number is used by the kernel and it is exposed to clients in the
"WLR_POINTER_AXIS_DISCRETE_STEP" constant.
Starting with Linux Kernel v5.0 two new axes are available for
mice that support high-resolution wheel scrolling: REL_WHEEL_HI_RES and
REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES.
Both axes send data in fractions of 120 where each multiple of 120
amounts to one logical scroll event. Fractions of 120 indicate a wheel
movement less than one detent.
Three new events are now available on libinput:
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_WHEEL,
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_FINGER, and
LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_SCROLL_CONTINUOUS.
These events replace the LIBINPUT_EVENT_POINTER_AXIS event, so new
clients should simply ignore that event.
Also, two new APIs are available to access the high-resolution data:
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value() and
libinput_event_pointer_get_scroll_value_v120().
Add a project argument (LIBINPUT_HAS_SCROLL_VALUE120) to allow
building against old versions of libinput or, where high-resolution
scroll is available, support it.
