Implement XSetDeviceMode request handler

Implement XSetDeviceMode request handler for evdev.
Devices with absolute axes can be switched in relative
mode or absolute mode. Devices with relative axes
can be switched only in relative mode. Other devices
return BadMatch, cause they have no valuators and
don't report motion events.

New option "Mode" force devices with absolute axes
to work in relative or absolute mode.

Need xinputproto.
