Subject: [PATCH] input_id: Recognize buttonless joystick types

Input devices like rudders or pedals are joystick-like; they don't have
buttons, but axes like RX, THROTTLE, or RUDDER. These don't interfere with
other device types with absolute axes (touch screens, touchpads, and
accelerometers), so it's fairly safe to mark them as ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK and thus
hand out dynamic ACLs to the user.
