[razor-qt] Keyboard/mouse configuration tool for LXDE, lxinput is ported to Qt.

[Alec Moskvin]

razor-config-mouse is the only part that is licensed under GPL2-or-3, which we can't relicense. So another option is to merge it into lxinput-qt, and drop it from Razor (making us fully LGPL.) lxinput-qt has no additional dependencies (it doesn't actually include any GLib headers).

Of course we also need a tool that restores the settings at startup...
