At least the Dell Vostro 5470 elantech *clickpad* reports right button
clicks when clicked in the right bottom area:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103528

This is different from how (elantech) clickpads normally operate, normally
no matter where the user clicks on the pad the pad always reports a left
button event, since there is only 1 hardware button beneath the path.

It looks like Dell has put 2 buttons under the pad, one under each bottom
corner, causing this.

Since this however still clearly is a real clickpad hardware-wise, we still
want to report it as such to userspace, so that things like finger movement
in the bottom area can be properly ignored as it should be on clickpads.

So deal with this weirdness by simply mapping a right click to a left click
on elantech clickpads. As an added advantage this is something which we can
simply do on all elantech clickpads, so no need to add special quirks for
this weird model.
