The configuration options describes the method to override the udev rules directory.
It is not necessary to add it as the default in the build/install instructions.
Prior to this change, the udev rules were fixed to allow read-write
access only to the `plugdev` group. However, while this is the default
group for USB input devices on Debian and its derivatives, this is not
true for some systems such as openSUSE, which use `input` as the group.
This change adds a `--with-input-group` argument to `configure`, which
defaults to `plugdev`. This change also updates the install
documentation to reflect the new options.
Prior to this change, generation of the character lookup table could use
Python 2 or Python 3, depending on what the first instance of python in
the PATH pointed to. On most systems, python is a symbolic link to
python2.7. However, given that Python 2 is EOL, it makes sense to switch
the code to use Python 3 now, rather than later.
This change updates the requirements to use Python 3.6 or later, and
updates the Makefile to invoke the script with the detected python
binary, rather than relying on the shebang to use the system Python.
