[RFC PATCH 1/6] Input: Introduce EV_BTN event for generic buttons

["Tomasz Pakuła" <tomasz.pakula.oficjalny@gmail.com>]

This will be used to fire generic button events that only transmit
button number and it's value, not related to any defined usage.

Made for HID joysticks but could be adopted by other devices.
