x11-drivers.xf86-input-synaptics.patch

There are 2 reasons to do that:
1. psm backend is mostly useless nowadays as it does not support even
semi-multitouch trackpad packet format. So the only functional backend is
evdev.
2. x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics unconditionally installs high priority
configuration file which effectively forbids libinput to handle touchpads that
makes them unusable in Xorg if xf86-input-synaptics is compiled w/o evdev
support.
