Hid joystick interface (#4226)

* add support for hid gamepad interface
add documentation for HID joystick
Add joystick_task to read analog axes values even when no key is pressed or release. update doc
Update docs/feature_joystick.md
Manage pin setup and read to maintain matrix scan after analog read

* Incorporates patches and changes to HID reporting

There are some patches provided by @a-chol incorporated on this commit,
and also some changes I made to the HID Report structure.

The most interesting is the one dealing with number of buttons: Linux
doesn't seem to care, but Windows requires the HID structure to be byte
aligned (that's in the spec). So if one declares 8/16/32... buttons they
should not have any issues, but this is what happens when you have 9
buttons:

```
 bits |0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| axis 0 (report size 8)
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| ...
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*|
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| axis 6
      |*|*|*|*|*|*|*|*| first 8 buttons (report size 1)
      |*| | | | | | | | last of 9 buttons, not aligned
```

So for that I added a conditonal that will add a number of reports with
size 1 to make sure it aligns to the next multiple of 8. Those reports
send dummy inputs that don't do anything aside from aligning the data.

Tested on Linux, Windows 10 and Street Fighter (where the joystick is
recognized as direct-input)

* Add save and restore of each pin used in reading joystick (AVR).
Allow output pin to be JS_VIRTUAL_AXIS if the axis is connected to Vcc
instead of an output pin from the MCU.

Fix joystick report id

Fix broken v-usb hid joystick interface. Make it more resilient to unusual settings (none multiple of eight button count, 0 buttons or 0 axes)

Correct adc reading for multiple axes. Piecewise range conversion for uncentered raw value range. Input, output and ground pin configuration per axis.

Documentation fixes

* Fix port addressing for joystick analog read

+## Joystick
+
+The keyboard can be made to be recognized as a joystick HID device by the operating system.
+
+This is enabled by adding the following to `rules.mk`:
+
+```makefile
+JOYSTICK_ENABLE = yes
+```
+
+!> Joystick support is not currently available on V-USB devices.
+
+The joystick feature provides two services:
+ * reading analog input devices (eg. potentiometers)
+ * sending gamepad HID reports
+
+Both services can be used without the other, depending on whether you just want to read a device but not send gamepad reports (for volume control for instance)
+or send gamepad reports based on values computed by the keyboard.
+
+### Analog Input
+
+An analog device such as a potentiometer found on a gamepad's analog axes is based on a [voltage divider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider).
+It is composed of three connectors linked to the ground, the power input and power output (usually the middle one). The power output holds the voltage that varies based on the position of the cursor,
+which value will be read using your MCU's [ADC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter).
+Depending on which pins are already used by your keyboard's matrix, the rest of the circuit can get a little bit more complicated,
+feeding the power input and ground connection through pins and using diodes to avoid bad interactions with the matrix scanning procedures.
+
+### Configuring the Joystick
+
+By default, two axes and eight buttons are defined. This can be changed in your `config.h`:
+
+```c
+// Max 32
+#define JOYSTICK_BUTTON_COUNT 16
+// Max 6: X, Y, Z, Rx, Ry, Rz
+#define JOYSTICK_AXES_COUNT 3
+```
+
+When defining axes for your joystick, you have to provide a definition array. You can do this from your keymap.c file.
+A joystick will either be read from an input pin that allows the use of the ADC, or can be virtual, so that its value is provided by your code.
+You have to define an array of type ''joystick_config_t'' and of proper size.
+
+There are three ways for your circuit to work with the ADC, that relies on the use of 1, 2 or 3 pins of the MCU:
+ * 1 pin: your analog device is directly connected to your device GND and VCC. The only pin used is the ADC pin of your choice.
+ * 2 pins: your analog device is powered through a pin that allows toggling it on or off. The other pin is used to read the input value through the ADC.
+ * 3 pins: both the power input and ground are connected to pins that must be set to a proper state before reading and restored afterwards.
+
+The configuration of each axis is performed using one of four macros:
+ * `JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL`: no ADC reading must be performed, that value will be provided by keyboard/keymap-level code
+ * `JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN(INPUT_PIN, LOW, REST, HIGH)`: a voltage will be read on the provided pin, which must be an ADC-capable pin.
+ * `JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN_OUT(INPUT_PIN, OUTPUT_PIN, LOW, REST, HIGH)`: the provided `OUTPUT_PIN` will be set high before `INPUT_PIN` is read.
+ * `JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN_OUT_GROUND(INPUT_PIN, OUTPUT_PIN, GROUND_PIN, LOW, REST, HIGH)`: the `OUTPUT_PIN` will be set high and `GROUND_PIN` will be set low before reading from `INPUT_PIN`.
+
+In any case where an ADC reading takes place (when `INPUT_PIN` is provided), additional `LOW`, `REST` and `HIGH` parameters are used.
+These implement the calibration of the analog device by defining the range of read values that will be mapped to the lowest, resting position and highest possible value for the axis (-127 to 127).
+In practice, you have to provide the lowest/highest raw ADC reading, and the raw reading at resting position, when no deflection is applied. You can provide inverted `LOW` and `HIGH` to invert the axis.
+
+For instance, an axes configuration can be defined in the following way:
+
+```c
+//joystick config
+joystick_config_t joystick_axes[JOYSTICK_AXES_COUNT] = {
+    [0] = JOYSTICK_AXIS_IN_OUT_GROUND(A4, B0, A7, 900, 575, 285),
+    [1] = JOYSTICK_AXIS_VIRTUAL
+};
+```
+
+When the ADC reads 900 or higher, the returned axis value will be -127, whereas it will be 127 when the ADC reads 285 or lower. Zero is returned when 575 is read.
+
+In this example, the first axis will be read from the `A4` pin while `B0` is set high and `A7` is set low, using `analogReadPin()`, whereas the second axis will not be read.
+
+In order to give a value to the second axis, you can do so in any customizable entry point: as an action, in `process_record_user()` or in `matrix_scan_user()`, or even in `joystick_task()` which is called even when no key has been pressed.
+You assign a value by writing to `joystick_status.axes[axis_index]` a signed 8-bit value (ranging from -127 to 127). Then it is necessary to assign the flag `JS_UPDATED` to `joystick_status.status` in order for an updated HID report to be sent.
+
+The following example writes two axes based on keypad presses, with `KC_P5` as a precision modifier:
+
+```c
+#ifdef JOYSTICK_ENABLE
+static uint8_t precision_val = 70;
+static uint8_t axesFlags = 0;
+enum axes {
+    Precision = 1,
+    Axis1High = 2,
+    Axis1Low = 4,
+    Axis2High = 8,
+    Axis2Low = 16
+};
+#endif
+
+bool process_record_user(uint16_t keycode, keyrecord_t *record) {
+    switch(keycode) {
+#ifdef JOYSTICK_ENABLE
+        // virtual joystick
+#    if JOYSTICK_AXES_COUNT > 1
+        case KC_P8:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                axesFlags |= Axis2Low;
+            } else {
+                axesFlags &= ~Axis2Low;
+            }
+            joystick_status.status |= JS_UPDATED;
+            break;
+        case KC_P2:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                axesFlags |= Axis2High;
+            } else {
+                axesFlags &= ~Axis2High;
+            }
+            joystick_status.status |= JS_UPDATED;
+            break;
+#    endif
+        case KC_P4:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                axesFlags |= Axis1Low;
+            } else {
+                axesFlags &= ~Axis1Low;
+            }
+            joystick_status.status |= JS_UPDATED;
+            break;
+        case KC_P6:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                axesFlags |= Axis1High;
+            } else {
+                axesFlags &= ~Axis1High;
+            }
+            joystick_status.status |= JS_UPDATED;
+            break;
+        case KC_P5:
+            if (record->event.pressed) {
+                axesFlags |= Precision;
+            } else {
+                axesFlags &= ~Precision;
+            }
+            joystick_status.status |= JS_UPDATED;
+            break;
+#endif
+    }
+    return true;
+}
+```
+
+### Triggering Joystick Buttons
+
+Joystick buttons are normal Quantum keycodes, defined as `JS_BUTTON0` to `JS_BUTTON31`, depending on the number of buttons you have configured.
+To trigger a joystick button, just add the corresponding keycode to your keymap.
