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The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate set of flags ID_INPUT_{KEYBOARD,KEYS,MOUSE,TOUCHPAD,TABLET,JOYSTICK}.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

+The ID_CLASS property on input devices has been replaced by the more accurate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}=="?*".
