[PATCH synaptics v2] Don't count fingers twice when guessing distance (#48316)

A finger may be closer than the required distance to more than one finger.
e.g. for fingers A, B, C, AB, AC and BC may trigger the check and count
C twice -resulting in a 4 finger click.

Avoid double-counting by marking those fingers already close enough to a
previous finger to avoid overcounting.

Changes to v1:
- new algorithm. for each pair closer than the distance, mark both points.
  then count the number of points marked.
