Turn on XInput 2 support by default
The support doesn't interfere with compatibility, since Emacs
built with XInput 2 support transparently falls back to Core
Input when a suitable version of the input extension is not
available. It also matured much sooner than expected, so
enabling this by default will lead to new features being
available to more users.
* INSTALL:
* configure.ac:
* etc/NEWS: Enable XInput 2 support by default.
