HID: wacom: generic: Leave tool in prox until it completely leaves sense
The legacy Intuos codepath and tablet behavior (e.g. the 1st-gen Intuos
Pro, Cintiq 27, etc.) would result in a BTN_TOOL_* event not being cleared
to zero until the tool had completely left the sensing range of the
tablet. Before the final "out of prox" packet would be sent, zero or
more "in range" packets could be sent to indicate that a pen was still
detectable but not within a useful distance. These "in range" packets
were used by the driver to keep touch input disabled at greater pen
distances. In addition to keeping the `stylus_in_proximity` flag set,
the driver would leave the current BTN_TOOL_* marked as being in
proximity as well.
The new HID codepath also sets `stylus_in_proximity` based on the "sense"
flag, but does not leave the current BTN_TOOL_* marked as being in prox.
This information is potentially useful to for a future userspace-based
palm rejection, so this patch modifies the driver to continue sending it.
