Wacom touchscreens should disable gestures

Bug description:
[Impact]
From the original bug:
"The result is that on my Yoga 920, in a plain X11 session (running
openbox in my case), the touchscreen acts like a broken mouse: there
is no multi-touch capability in Qt Quick applications, and clicking
isn't quite right either."
[Test case]
Install the update, note that the touchscreen behaviour is better.
[Regression potential]
From the upstream commit:
"Note that this change will effectively cause a feature regression for
users of other environments that do *not* have their own gesture
engines (Cinnamon, KDE, MATE, XFCE, etc.). Users will want to add an
xorg.conf.d snippet with `Option "Gesture" "on"` to bring back the
functionality."
but at least I (tjaalton) haven't heard of any complaints since we've
disabled gestures in focal (Nov 21st), so the warning might be a bit
too pessimistic about the impact.

/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-wacom.conf as shipped, has this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom touchscreen class"
MatchProduct "Wacom|WACOM|PTK-540WL|ISD-V4"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchIsTouchscreen "true"
Driver "wacom"
EndSection
The result is that on my Yoga 920, in a plain X11 session (running
openbox in my case), the touchscreen acts like a broken mouse: there
is no multi-touch capability in Qt Quick applications, and clicking
isn't quite right either. I also verified it with Peter Hutterer's
old cairo-based mt-touch test program.
I suspect we will get some users mistakenly writing up Qt bugs about
this if you don't ship a fix. (Seems to me that already happened at
least once, actually.)
Yes, the touchscreen is made by Wacom, but wacom_drv.so has
historically been only for Wacom tablets and in-screen stylus
digitizers, and IMO that continues to be the case. libinput is a much
better choice of driver for this hardware (so is evdev for that
matter), so I changed it to Driver "libinput" and got it working.
(Wayland uses libinput, so in a wayland session, touch already works
fine in Qt apps on this hardware.)
I'm one of the Qt Quick maintainers, most concerned with touch
handling, and I've also written some of the Qt xcb code for dealing
with XInput touch and tablet devices. So if you think that there's
something wrong with Qt, such that it should still work anyway to use
a wacom driver for a Wacom touchscreen, let me know. These AES
devices are still new to me (that's why I got a Yoga, to try it out).
