HID: sony: Comply to Linux gamepad spec for DS4



The DS4 side of hid-sony used the hid-core layer to assign buttons
and axes based on the HID report descriptors. The default mapping
was strange e.g. right stick using ABS_Z/ABS_RZ or the physical
'south button' being reported as BTN_EAST etcetera.

This patch makes the DS4 side ofi the hid-sony driver comply to
the Linux game controller spec as suggested in a discussion with
Dmitry on the linux-input list.

Currently the main user of the DS4 is the SDL2 library, which has
a mapping table using vendor/device/version as a key. In order to
not break SDL2 we discussed adjusting the version number, so it
can have both mappings. This was discust on linux-input and we
discussed privately with SDL2 developers.
