There's timestamp jitter between the input events and input_sync.
Add two more event code to pass the timestamp to userspace. This
is needed since some input devices such as sensors need to retrieve
the accurate timestamp of the events generated.

Some devices provides the actual timestamp (hid_dg_scan_time in win8 ones)
computed by the hardware itself. This value is global to the frame and is
not specific to the multitouch protocol.

Add a new EV_SYN code, SYN_DROPPED, to inform the client when input
events have been dropped from the evdev input buffer due to a
buffer overrun. The client should use this event as a hint to
reset its state or ignore all following events until the next
packet begins.
