Xwayland supports relative motion events from the Wayland compositor via
the relative-pointer protocol, and converts those to the absolute range
in device units for raw events.
Some X11 clients however wrongly assume relative values in the axis
values even for devices explicitly labeled as absolute. While this is a
bug in the client, such applications would work fine in plain Xorg but
not with Xwayland.
To avoid that issue, use the relative values for raw events without
conversion, so that such application continue to work in Xwayland.
Thanks Peter for figuring out the root cause.
v2: Don't duplicate relative and absolute events (Peter)
v3: Use POINTER_RAWONLY (Peter)
