Input: add REL_WHEEL_HI_RES
and REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES
This event code represents scroll reports from high-resolution wheels and is modelled after the approach Windows uses. The value 120 is one detent (wheel click) of movement. Mice with higher-resolution scrolling can send fractions of 120 which must be accumulated in userspace. Userspace can either wait for a full 120 to accumulate or scroll by fractions of one logical scroll movement as the events come in. 120 was picked as magic number because it has a high number of integer fractions that can be used by high-resolution wheels. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/hardware/design/dn613912(v=vs.85) These new axes obsolete REL_WHEEL and REL_HWHEEL. The legacy axes are emulated by the kernel but the most accurate (and most granular) data is available through the new axes.

- High-resolution scroll wheel data. The accumulated value 120 represents

movement by one detent. For devices that do not provide high-resolution

scrolling, the value is always a multiple of 120. For devices with

high-resolution scrolling, the value may be a fraction of 120.

If a vertical scroll wheel supports high-resolution scrolling, this code

will be emitted in addition to REL_WHEEL or REL_HWHEEL. The REL_WHEEL

and REL_HWHEEL may be an approximation based on the high-resolution

is a multiple of 120 at the time of an emulated REL_WHEEL or REL_HWHEEL

event.
