Generalize input module to mouse and joystick/gamepad events
Extend the input service beyond the keyboard so mouse and joystick/gamepad drivers can broadcast too, with per-device publish and subscribe methods. - protocol: KeyEvent joins MouseEvent (motion/buttons/scroll) and JoystickEvent (axes/buttons), all carried in a common InputEvent envelope tagged with a DeviceKind. A subscribe request carries a device_mask, so a subscriber names the classes it wants and the service routes each event only to interested subscribers (a mouse-only listener never wakes for keystrokes). - runtime: per-device publish methods (publishKeyboardEvent/publishMouseEvent/ publishJoystickEvent) and subscribe helpers (subscribeKeyboard/Mouse/Joystick, each typed, plus subscribe(mask)/subscribeAll returning the tagged envelope). - service: subscriber table gains a device_mask; broadcast routes by the event's device class. - mouse driver now publishes (synthetic) mouse events like the keyboard driver; input-source cycles all three classes; input-test subscribes to all and only emits its "ok" marker once it has received one of each class — so the passing test proves per-device routing, not just delivery. Real HID decoding stays a follow-up. No kernel changes: ipc_send is generic and the 36-byte InputEvent fits its 64-byte payload. Full QEMU suite 48/48; serial log confirms keyboard, mouse, and joystick all reach one subscription.
