[PATCH synaptics v2 14/21] Replace the motion estimator

[Daniel Stone]

From: Derek Foreman <derek.foreman at collabora.co.uk>

Use a smarter motion estimator that attempts to draw a best-fit line
through the history where possible, including taking acceleration into
account.

v2: Split a few hunks out into separate patches.

NOTE: I realise 'outlier' is unused; I've already fixed this in my local tree.
