Martin:
* continued work on virtual keyboard, hit problems:
** QtWayland 5.6 is broken beyond repair for wl_text_input implementation
** QtWayland 5.7 has different implementation using a not standardized 
protocol version
** will switch to Qt 5.7 and implement the not standardized protocol to 
continue
* better support for libinput devices
** Device wrapper class is added, which exposes all information as Q_PROPERTY
** Integrated into DebugConsole
** Mouse KCM works on Wayland now
** Support for pointer left-handed: https://phabricator.kde.org/D1543
** Support for pointer acceleration: https://phabricator.kde.org/D1544
** Support for enable touchpad: https://phabricator.kde.org/D1545
** general touchpad support needs more work - KCM needs quite some porting
