evdev: Only send the events at synchronization time.

Instead of just posting the button/key press/release events to the
server as soon as they arrive, add them to an internal queue and post
them once we receive an EV_SYN synchronization event.

The motion events are always sent first, followed by the queued events.
There will be one motion event and possibly many queued button/key
events posted every EV_SYN event.

Note that the size of the event queue (EVDEV_MAXQUEUE) is arbitrary and
you may change it. If we receive more events than the queue can handle,
those events are dropped and a warning message printed.

Tested on my Lenovo T400 using evdev for all input devices; keyboard,
touchpad, and trackpoint.
