Spoof newer Touchpad for Sequoia

[1Revenger1]

Spoofs a newer touchpad. macOS Sequoia dropped the IOKit personalities for the older SPI touchpads, including the one used by VoodooInput.

Just raise a concern if 0x265 still works in Recovery mode, which was a problem years ago before VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C@3f00f01. So sorry that I can't test this due to my broken hack.

Is it possible this breaks older macOS?

Catalina recovery seemed to work just fine but I have no clue about older macOS recovery installs. I also don't think this would break older macOS version as the MT2 was introduced around 10.11.

I can go ahead and try to find a newer touchpad product ID though and switch it based off of version. That way we use an embedded touchpad product ID instead of an external USB/BT one.

@1Revenger1 The change looks good. If you can address @stevezhengshiqi and @vit9696's comments, then I am good with this PR.

I changed it to use internal touchpads instead of the MT2. This should keep the old behavior for older OSes.

I'll wait for @vit9696's thoughts on this, but this is good by me.

I built kexts with both 0x265 and 0x281 IDs, and got slightly smoother performance when using 0x265, and there were some random pointer movements when using 0x281. Is this behavior expected? Or, there may be some problem with my laptop's trackpad/it must be a one-off thing that happened to me 🤔

If anyone wants, the kexts can be found in the workflow artifacts - https://github.com/vedantmgoyal9/VoodooInput/actions

It should make no difference. The underlying code is still the same, unless you can measure (say CPU load or some other metric), this is more than likely a placebo.

The VoodooInput with ID 0x281 is superior to VoodooInput 1.1.4(ID 0x272). On Windows, my touchpad operates at a polling rate of 60Hz. On Sonoma, with VoodooInput 1.1.4(ID 0x272), the polling rate is 30Hz. However, with this VoodooInput using ID 0x281 on Sequoia, the polling rate is 60Hz. There isn't a very noticeable difference in usage, but it is an improvement.

MacBookAir10,1 was released with macOS 11.x. Since they had a special macOS build, we can assume macOS 12.x as a first fully supported version. Why not to switch to switch to MacBookAir10,1 ID on macOS 12.x and newer instead of macOS 14.x and newer? Otherwise no objections.
