Input: define INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER behavior

Spell out what this property means to userspace. If the property is set, all
directional axes must be accelerometer axes, any other axes are left as-is.
This allows an accelerometer device to e.g. have an ABS_WHEEL.

It is not permitted to mix normal directional axes and accelerometer axes on
the same device node.

INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER
-------------------------
Directional axes on this device (absolute and/or relative x, y, z) represent
accelerometer data. All other axes retain their meaning. A device must not mix
regular directional axes and accelerometer axes on the same event node.
