  • Enable wheel emulation by default if trackpoint support is enabled
  • Set proper TrackPoint name for ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen

Please refer to the commit messages for further details :)

Most trackpoint users I know use the middle-button to have some
scrolling functionality. So I think that for ThinkPads at least we
should have this enabled by default if the trackpoint shall be used.
Newer ThinkPads have a new name for the Trackpoint - "TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint".

Having the "[...] IBM Trackpoint" as default caused some weird
side-effects on my machine (e.g. stopped the trackpoint working after a
suspend) with the wrong name. Although this is mentioned in the option's
description[1], I think that this should be declared explicitly here.

As soon, as we supported newer models as well[2], we should probably
move this into its own common profile.
