Implement stylus pressure curve support

Takes a 4-point cubic bezier curve as input and maps the pressure coordinates
to the values outlined by this curve. This is an extension of the current
implementation in the xf86-input-wacom driver which only allows the two center
control points to be modified.

Over the years a few users have noted that the wacom driver's pressure curve
makes it impossible to cap the pressure at a given value. Given our bezier
implementation here, it's effectively a freebie to add configurability of the
first and last control points. We do require all control points' x coordinates
to be in ascending order.

.SH TABLET TOOL PRESSURECURVE
The pressure curve affects how stylus pressure is reported. By default, the
hardware pressure is reported as-is. By setting a pressure curve, the feel
of the stylus can be adjusted to be more like e.g. a pencil or a brush.
.PP
The pressure curve is a cubic Bezier curve, drawn within a normalized range
of 0.0 to 1.0 between the four points provided. This normalized range is
applied to the tablet's pressure input so that the highest pressure maps to
1.0. The points must have increasing x coordinates, if x0 is larger than 0.0
all pressure values lower than x0 are equivalent to y0. If x3 is less than
1.0, all pressure values higher than x3 are equivalent to y3.
The input for a linear curve (default) is "0.0/0.0 0.0/0.0 1.0/1.0 1.0/1.0";
a slightly
depressed curve (firmer) might be "0.0/0.0 0.05/0.0 1.0/0.95 1.0/1.0"; a slightly raised
curve (softer) might be "0.0/0.0 0.0/0.05 0.95/1.0 1.0/1.0".
