Fedora 30: libinput Update Addresses Security Concerns with SELinux

libinput is a library that handles input devices for display servers and other

applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

It provides device detection, device handling, input device event processing

and abstraction so minimize the amount of custom input code the user of

libinput need to provide the common set of functionality that users expect.

This update fixes a [bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5268) in

the Meson build system which caused binaries and libraries to incorrectly be

marking as requiring an executable stack. This makes them more vulnerable to

security issues, and also can result in errors caused by SELinux denials. This

update also provides rebuilds of all the packages that were built with the buggy

Meson, excepting packages for updates were already pending (in those cases,

those updates have been edited instead). This includes gnome-initial-setup,

which was affected by this problem, resulting in a [release-blocking

bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1699099) that prevented it

running correctly with SELinux in enforcing mode.

[ 1 ] Bug #1699099 - gnome-initial-setup 3.32.0+ crashes due to SELinux denials (because it has execstack flag set, because meson 0.50.0 sets it when it shouldn't)
