The link to some (of course non-existing, i.e. freedesktop) “libinput” documentation is replaced by a piece of the API documentation. The default is changed since the documentation suggests `adaptive` should be it. https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/group__config.html#gad63796972347f318b180e322e35cee79 Also fix a missing string conversion for `scrollButton`.
