2bfd36c362 wacom: Use the ExpressKey Remote name for the EKR
There's only one device like this that we support so we might as well
use its name as-is instead of a more confusing "External Pad device"
which isn't very descriptive unless you work with tablets and know what
a "pad" is in this context.

Anyone who owns this device will have bought it under the name
ExpressKey remote.

39402f21ba wacom: Show distinct entries for Wacom Express Key Remote
If you did not know the Wacom Express Key Remote (or EKR for short),
let me introduce it to you:

This is a hand-sized standalone pad device, meant to be used together
with drawing tablets, providing additional buttons and a touch sensitive
ring that can be mapped to actions and keypresses.

These pads were so far handled in GNOME, but in a very subtle manner.
As the EKR is implicitly paired to a tablet, it was possible to map
EKR buttons from the paired tablet once the pad OSD UI from GNOME
Shell was shown.

As this device basically just needs a "Map buttons" action to
configure it, it just didn't sit well in the older Settings UI,
it would get a separate page with just a lone button in there. So
its support has been kind of an easter egg so far.

But the new UI can indeed accomodate better a device that is neither
tablet nor stylus, and has few options. This commit adds the EKR
as a separate AdwPreferencesGroup.
