terminal: add evdev elements to idev
The evdev-element provides linux evdev interfaces as idev-elements. This way, all real input hardware devices on linux can be used with the idev interface. We use libevdev to interface with the kernel. It's a simple wrapper library around the kernel evdev API that takes care to resync devices after kernel-queue overflows, which is a rather non-trivial task. Furthermore, it's a well tested interface used by all other major input users (Xorg, weston, libinput, ...). Last but not least, it provides nice keycode to keyname lookup tables (and vice versa), which is really nice for debugging input problems.
