    Input: clear BTN_RIGHT/MIDDLE on buttonpads

    Buttonpads are expected to map the INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD property bit
    and the BTN_LEFT key bit.

    As explained in the specification, where a device has a button type
    value of 0 (click-pad) or 1 (pressure-pad) there should not be
    discrete buttons:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/component-guidelines/touchpad-windows-precision-touchpad-collection#device-capabilities-feature-report

    However, some drivers map the BTN_RIGHT and/or BTN_MIDDLE key bits even
    though the device is a buttonpad and therefore does not have those
    buttons.

    This behavior has forced userspace applications like libinput to
    implement different workarounds and quirks to detect buttonpads and
    offer to the user the right set of features and configuration options.
    For more information:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/merge_requests/726

    In order to avoid this issue clear the BTN_RIGHT and BTN_MIDDLE key
    bits when the input device is register if the INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD
    property bit is set.

    Notice that this change will not affect udev because it does not check
    for buttons. See systemd/src/udev/udev-builtin-input_id.c.
