No "Two finger scroll" checkbox anymore.

control-center 3.20.1-1.fc24.x86_64 (package from Fedora 24).
libinput (on X11, not tested on Wayland) is used for the touchpad:

> $ grep -e "Using input driver 'libinput'" /home/jehan/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
> […]
> [   733.495] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
> […]

I used to have a "Two finger scroll" checkbox in the "Mouse & Touchpad" settings. Unchecked meant old-style edge scrolling instead. But I don't have this anymore in the GUI (cf. screenshot) for the same material I had (Thinkpad X220).

I can check that the "edge" scroll method is seen as available with xinput:

> $ xinput list-props 10
> Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad':
> […]
> 	libinput Scroll Methods Available (286):	1, 1, 0
>	libinput Scroll Method Enabled (287):	1, 0, 0
> […]

And setting the edge method works fine and allows me to scroll with edge method on my touchpad:

> $ xinput set-prop 10 287 1 0 0

But I think this should be available as an option in the GUI, as it used too. Has this been removed? Or is it a bug and it should appear?
