nirenjan d9ae8d4b79 Add connect/disconnect methods to libx52 
Prior to this change, libx52_init needed a supported joystick to be
plugged in, otherwise it would fail with LIBX52_ERROR_NO_DEVICE. This
change modifies the behavior so that libx52_init would still succeed,
but the application should call libx52_connect to make sure that the
device handle is valid. libx52_init still tries to connect to the
joystick, but absence is no longer treated as a failure.

This change also modifies x52cli to check that the joystick is actually
connected before calling the individual handlers. Because libx52_init no
longer fails if the joystick is absent, we need to rely on the return
code from libx52_connect.

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.
