Add T430 series to list of supported trackpoint (#7699)

Confirmed via `udevadm test /sys/class/input/eventX` that
POINTINGSTICK_* properties were not being set for my T430s trackpoint.
After adding a local entry file (as advised in this file), the same
`udevadm test` command showed properties.

More importantly, the movement of mouse using trackpoint felt much
better. Hard to describe its previous state, but following come to mind:
slippery, hard to control, awkward. Now it feels more consistent and predictable.
A little on the sensitive side with the defaults, but didn't think it warranted
dedicated properties just for this series though as the X230 is same generation
and uses the defaults.
