fix(host): trackpad Y rides the wire in screen convention, flips at the Deck boundary

Both Deck trackpads were inverted on the virtual pad (first live Deck-to-Deck
session): the client sends SDL's screen-convention coordinates (+y down)
onto the wire, but the Deck's raw report fields are stick convention (+y up)
— and Steam Input parses our report as real Deck hardware — while the host
applier passed the value straight through.

Pin the wire meaning down (quic.rs: TouchpadEx/Touchpad are screen
convention, +x right +y down — what every client capture API produces) and
translate to device-raw in the host applier, the layer that knows the
quirk: steam_proto's apply_rich now negates y (saturating: -32768 has no
i16 negation) for both TouchpadEx surfaces and the DualSense-standin
Touchpad arm, which carried the same latent inversion.
