Input tests should be expanded to include a clicking test

[Ara Pulido]

We currently have a local job called input/pointing

It takes the output of xinput to find pointing devices and creates pointing jobs for each of them.

We should have a second one (maybe called input/clicking) that uses the same output and creates tests that explicitly ask to test left, right and middle click (if available) for each of those.

The existing test resides in checkbox-old/jobs/input.txt.in. A simple version would just replicate this and replace "pointing" with "clicking", while asking the user to click on buttons and ensure an action results.

Bonus points for a test that updates touchpad_test to support specifying buttons. Currently you can specify scroll directions:

touchpad_test left right
touchpad_test up down

I'm thinking of a modification to allow things like this:

touchpad_test button_left button_middle button_right

the script uses Gtk/Gdk, so a bit of research on how to use these toolkits to capture mouse clicks will be needed.

But for the bug to be solved, a basic manual test would be enough.

Thanks! I'll take a look!
