For MT applications, the tracking id provides a robust way to know
when a touch is new; essential information to determine when _not_ to
emit motion events, for instance. Currently, ST applications do not
have the equivalent information, but instead rely on global properties
such as a change in number of fingers. Moreover, some MT applications
need to know which contact correponds to the pointer. This patch adds
the ABS_TRACKING_ID axis and emits it in
input_mt_report_pointer_emulation(), provided the proper absbit is
setup by the driver.
