Input: docs - update joystick documentation a bit

Consolidate use instructions and userspace API notes into the same chapter;
remove completely obsolete references, move into a separate subdirectory.

 Initialization

 Open the joystick device following the usual semantics (that is, with open).
 Since the driver now reports events instead of polling for changes,
 immediately after the open it will issue a series of synthetic events

-Intro

 The joystick driver for Linux provides support for a variety of joysticks
 and similar devices. It is based on a larger project aiming to support all
 input devices in Linux.
 
-Should you encounter any problems while using the driver, or joysticks
+The mailing list for the project is:
-this driver can't make complete use of, I'm very interested in hearing about
-them. Bug reports and success stories are also welcome.
