Reword Touchpad Click Method section

Explanation

In GNOME 3.27.90, the GNOME default mouse click emulation on touchpads will change from 'default' to 'fingers'. 'default' apparently depends on a hard-coded list of hardware to try to do 'fingers' on Mac hardware and 'areas' on Windows hardware (?).

This setting was already in Tweaks (see the first screenshot below) but isn't explained very well so I am using this bug to propose an improvement (the next two screenshots). The setting is at the bottom of the Keyboard & Mouse page.

In my proposed patch, there is no check mark if 'default' is set since it's harder to know which method is in use and it would be confusing to add a 'default' choice here.

Current Touchpad Click Method Section

gnome-tweaks-click-method-3-27-4

Proposed Rework

This makes the Keyboard & Mouse page long enough to scroll. Before the scroll:

gnome-tweaks-click-method-1

After scrolling down:

gnome-tweaks-click-method-2
