input: Deprecate ENV{ID_CLASS}

The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate
set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEYS,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}.

Rewrite 60-persistent-input.rules to use the new properties now and not export
ID_CLASS any more, since it is not used by anything else any more.

Add note about migration to NEWS, in case this is being used in custom rules.

 need to add the rules to the compat rules file.
 
+The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate
+set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEY,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}. These are
+determined by the new "input_id" prober now. Some devices, such as touchpads,
+can have several classes. So if you previously had custom udev rules which e. g.
+checked for ENV{ID_CLASS}=="kbd", you need to replace this with
+ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="?*".
