[PATCH] HID: magicmouse: add pressurepad property to Apple Magic Trackpad 2

[Yicong Hui]

Userspace programs like libinput will take the pressure value reported
by trackpads, and use it as a proxy for contact size unless the
INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD property is set, causing libinput to freeze the
touch input when pressing too hard.

Set the INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD property for the Apple Magic Trackpad
2 indicating that it is a pressurepad reporting pressure measured
as a real force, as specified in commit ae8966b7b5bd ("Input: rename
INPUT_PROP_HAPTIC_TOUCHPAD to INPUT_PROP_PRESSUREPAD"), and set the
INPUT_MT_TOTAL_FORCE bit to allow reporting of the total force across
all contacts.
