Add "off" and "disabled-on-external-mouse" properties to input devices
This is called "events <mode>" in Sway, but we decided to use more abstracted form for consistency with the other config items. "disabled-on-external-mouse" is added only to touchpads, but there might be other devices that support this option. I think "off" also applies to keyboards, but I'm not going to add the one because we don't have libinput machinery for the keyboard config, and it's unlikely that user wants to disable _all_ keyboards. OTOH, pointer devices can be disabled per type. Perhaps, this should be revisited after implementing #371.

Other Wayland compositors also use libinput, so it's likely you will find the same settings there.
