We would execute up to four hwdb match patterns (+ the keyboard builtin):
After the first hit, we would skip the other patterns, because of the GOTO="evdev_end"
action.
57bb707d48 (rules: Add extended evdev/input match
rules for event nodes with the same name), added an additional match with
":phys:<phys>:ev:<ev>" inserted. This breaks backwards compatibility for user
hwdb patterns, because we quit after the first match.
In general hwdb properties are "additive". We often have a general rule that
matches a wider class and then some specific overrides. E.g. in this particular
case, we have a match for all trackpoints, and then a bunch of model-specific
settings.
So let's change the rules to try all the match patterns and combine the
received properties. We execute builtin-keyboard once at the end, if there was
at least one match.
Fixes#25698. Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2152226.
This also impacts other cases which I think would be very confusing for users.
Since we quit after a first successful match, if we had e.g. a match for
'evdev:input:b*v*p*' in out database, and the user added a match using
'evdev:name:*', which is the approach we document in the .hwdb files and which
users quite often use, it would be silently ignored. What's worse, if we added
our 'evdev:input:b*v*p*' match at a later point, user's match would stop
working. If we combine all the properties, we get more stable behaviour.

RUN seems to be used primarily for historical reasons over the more
immediate IMPORT command. As a side-effect, RUN also runs *after* all the
rules have been processed which is not really what we want here - we expect
the device to be updated immediately. Other rules that rely on accurate evdev
axes should be able to assume the axes are already present. So let's use
IMPORT here.
For consistency, the second two rules are split across multiple lines as well.
This change is only about the source tree. We have tmpfiles.d/, modprobe.d/,
sysctl.d/, and sysusers.d/, but for historical reasons, rules/ didn't fit this
pattern. We also *install* it as rules.d/. Let's rename to be consistent.
