Recognize "Emulate3Buttons" as a synonym to "MiddleEmulation" for libinput #8

Description

@ONykyf

Describe the feature

Now libinput is a default driver for mice instead of evdev, and the commonly used option "Emulate3Buttons" stopped working. Being not aware of this, i even filed a bug report:
X11Libre/xserver#461

Maybe it worth adding "Emulate3Buttons" as a synonym to "MiddleEmulation" for libinput, the change would be trivial?

It should be done because

People expect "Emulate3Buttons" which was here for years:

We could save them time and effort.

What are the alternatives?
