methods the members are populated, the flat data size is calcualted, the data
buffer is allocated and the convenience pointers are set up automatically. With
initialize() an arbitrary configuration can be created, with
initialize_to_extended_joystick() a configuration is created that exactly
matches the data structure of the extended_joystick struct.
Having them here makes it easy to use the structure from a driver as well
without the need to set up everything manually.

into joystick_driver.h as it is convenient to have also on the driver side.
* Added comments explaining the data structure and use case of the structure.

inside BJoystick.
* Add joystick_module_info flag to communicate support for variably sized reads.
* The variably sized data structure is set up to describe either the actual
amount of data, when variably sized reads are supported by the driver, or it
is set up so that it exactly matches the data layout of the extended_joystick
structure. This allows us to support both as input data, while only needing to
care about a single format inside BJoystick. Convenience pointers allow the
data to be retrieved without additional overhead or extra logic.
* Add some sanity checks and ensure some boundaries when dealing reading data
from the variably sized structure (as there might not be any buttons, hats,
axis at all now).
* Ensure that the extended_joystick structure doesn't change in size due to
padding by making it _PACKED (it wasn't padded though).
This is still supposed to work exactly as before. However, it opens up the
possibility to actually support arbitrary controllers with arbitrary axis, hat
and button counts. It therefore allows to actually deliver what the BJoystick
API was designed to handle all along.

* Include sorting, header style, macro naming, variable naming, spacing, ...
* Some simplifications, early returns and the like.
* The device name list items were allocated with new but deleted with free. The
whole private BJoystick list being modified by a friend class is dubious
though and should be reworked. Ideally node monitoring would be implemented
so that the list can be re-populated on demand instead of scanning through
every time.

info and values. Inspired by and in parts based on the patch by caz_haiku in
ticket #7429 (though rewritten completely due to the other changes). Thanks
for the pointers!
* Clean up the mixup of internal joystick info and the one from
joystick_driver.h so that BJoystick and the drivers talk about the same
structures.
* Extensive coding style cleanup, simplifications, NULL checks, early returns,
std::nothrow allocations, include sorting, argument naming, ... that kind of
stuff.
* Added some TODO notes for remaining stuff.
* Automatic (and manual) whitespace cleanup.

This is a very welcome addition.
* There are a few issues, and maybe questionable decisions (like the dependence
on ACPI), but I see no reason why it shouldn't be added in its current form
already.
* Unfortunately, I could not test it yet, though, as the CPU of my laptop is
not supported; will see if I can find a supported hardware, though.

build for others, namely those that also include <Debug.h>
* This fixes the remaining problems of building Pe under Haiku.
* Those files need a giant style cleanup... Fredrik, time to have a look at
our style guide :-)
