Make "touchpad-enabled" a system wide config option

So that the touchpad is disabled in GDM when it was disabled in the session. This would require enabling the mouse plugin in GDM, but probably only applying this particular setting.
We have no way of knowing what the real state of the device is, so let's forget about that.
