Bug 105830

PROBLEM:
libinput ignores settings done by "xinput set-button-map" that set wheels to zero to deactivate them.

For details, please see: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=137104
Bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104960 is possibly also influenced by this issue.

CAUSE:
My investigation showed what causes the bug.
The problem is in libinput.c.
Please look at the comments added by me to understand the problem.

SOLUTION:
My quick fix factually just consisted of disabling the wheel by always returning zero movement.
A *proper* fix would check whether the wheel is enabled at all in the button map set by xinput or xorg.conf, and discard the events if wheel is disabled.

	double value = 0;

	require_event_type(libinput_event_get_context(&event->base),
			   event->base.type,
			   0.0,
