Re-enable inputcontrol functionality

Project Member Reported by denniskempin@chromium.org, Aug 6 2016

Issue description

We have been talking about this offline for a while, but it should have a tracking bug:

Inputcontrol was a crosh tool to allow users to tweak touchpad and mouse parameters in xf86-input-cmt.

Since we no longer use X11 on most (or all by now?) platforms, we need an alternative way of tweaking these settings.
The gestures library now lives inside chrome/aura, which we can no longer access from the command line as we did with inputcontrol. 

We will have to look into alternative options. Providing a DBUS interface and talking to a command-line tool or maybe a chrome:// page would be easier to implement as well as easier to use. 

Assigning to adlr@ for now until.

We get comments about touchpad problems all the time in Chromebook Central.  Having the command line in CrOSH was very helpful.  We do need something.

#CBC-RS-TC Watchlist


This is a pretty irritating issue to run into on a brand new, high end laptop (pixelbook).  It doesn't make the laptop unusuable, but it makes every interaction feel janky.
This needs to get looked into. Seriously cannot stand acceleration, and would like the option to disable.

(Bulk Edit) Adding the new conops Chrome OS hotlist to all open issues with the "#CBC-RS/TC-watchlist" tag, our former tracking tag.
