Why do you need a wrapper class? I'd expect the module to be enough.

Originally it had a helper function which ended up not being needed. I'll make it just a module.

I just want to say that the HTTP version @dhalbert dhalbert refer to https://html5gamepad.com/ say "Connection Refused" where the HTTP version http://html5gamepad.com/ works for me. |

Adds a simple gamepad HID device to the devices that share a common endpoint: mouse, keyboard, consumer controls, and now gamepad.
The gamepad shows up to varying degrees in various operating systems:
/dev/input/js*device and a/dev/input/event*device. Events can be seen viaevtestandjstest. Firefox and Chrome do not see the gamepad via https://html5gamepad.com, but that appears to be due to limited gamepad support/compatibility between the browsers and LinuxFirefox and Chrome can see the gamepad via http://html5gamepad.com. You may need to send some events before it shows up.
This PR also includes latent support for a stylus-based digitizer as well, but it conflicts with other devices, so it's turned off until we have dynamic USB HID devices. I had hoped to add a little dynamic
boot.pysupport to allow turning the HID devices on and off before USB comes up, but this requires dynamic construction of both the report descriptors and the HID descriptor, so deferred for now.Needs adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_HID#19 to have a Python library for the gamepad support.
