Subject: [PATCH] cocoa: Don't round scroll deltas from trackpads

Rounding the scroll deltas from trackpads causes jerky scrolling behavior
by artificially amplifying the effects of very small scroll movements.

We should only round events from devices with discrete scroll wheels,
because we know the smallest unit of movement there is a single tick.
