Don't disable the tap-to-click checkbox for single-button touchpads

a5bf115175ea52c5cdc184b3844d06bdb7ad775c sets the sensitivity of the tap-to-click checkbox based on the capabilities settings. The idea behind it was that users shouldn't be able to disable tapping if they don't have physical buttons to re-enable this setting. With commit a5bf11 the condition for this was if a touchpad is lacking any physical button. There's a type of touchpads that only have a single button and for those tapping cannot be disabled. See Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548978. For these touchpads (and I guess generally) the condition should be to check if the touchpad doesn't have a left mouse button, i.e. a diff of something like this: - if (!data[0] || !data[1] || !data[2]) { + if (!data[0]) {
