joystick: Use a better heuristic to guess what is a joystick 

Previously we only checked for at least one button or key and at least
the X and Y absolute axes, but this has both false positives and false
negatives.

Graphics tablets, trackpads and touchscreens all have buttons and
absolute X and Y axes, but we don't want to detect those as joysticks.
On normal Linux systems ordinary users do not have access to these
device nodes, but members of the 'input' group do.

Conversely, some game controllers only have digital buttons and no
analogue axes (the Nintendo Wiimote is an example), and some have axes
and no buttons (steering wheels or flight simulator rudders might not
have buttons).

Use the more elaborate heuristic factored out from SDL's udev code path
to handle these cases.

In an ideal world we could use exactly the same heuristic as udev's
input_id builtin, but that isn't under a suitable license for inclusion
in SDL, so we have to use a parallel implementation of something
vaguely similar.
