[Rock-dev] Joystick and twice a std vector in RawCommand

[Javier Hidalgo Carrió]

Hello Matthias,

Please find enclosed the proposed change for the controldev driver 
(library and component).
I tested it with several joysticks. The idea is to use 
/usr/include/linux/input.h nomenclature for the axes and buttons and map 
then in a NamedVector at component level.

In my opinion, it better maps the buttons and axes in one-dimensional 
array. Let me know.

Regards,

Javier.
