HID: add a device driver for the Apple Magic Mouse.

Browse source 
The Magic Mouse requires that a driver send an unlock Report(Feature) command,
similar to the Wacom wireless tablet and Sixaxis controller quirks.  This turns
on an Input Report that isn't published in the input Report descriptor that
contains touch data (and usually overrides the normal motion and click Report).

Because the mouse has only one switch and no scroll wheel, the driver
(under control of parameters) emulates a middle button and scroll wheel.
User space could also ignore and/or re-synthesize those events based on
the reported events.

Some user-space tools to talk to the mouse directly (that is, when it is not
associated with the host's HIDP stack) are at
