nirenjan a5b69124a4 Update build matrix to include OSX, Xenial and Bionic 
This commit adds OSX to the build matrix, as well as building on Trusty,
Xenial and Bionic, both with GCC and CLang on all distributions. For
now, the OSX build uses the default image provided by Travis CI, but we
may decide to add more images in the future.

Also move realpath installation out of addons::apt::packages, since on
Xenial and newer distributions, realpath is included in the coreutils
package and doesn't need to be explicitly installed. However, we still
need it on Trusty, so add a line to manually install it.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
