Add a new helper function to copy absinfo from one input_dev to
another input_dev.
This is useful to e.g. setup a pen/stylus input-device for combined
touchscreen/pen hardware where the pen uses the same coordinates as
the touchscreen.

Changes in v2:
- Check src has EV_ABS and src_axis bits set (and WARN when not)
- Use input_set_capability()
