Add support for multiple Joystick devices

This includes a major refactoring of the Linux and Windows implementations
Each joystick device is now its own QObject. They all setup their own
native device instances and poll the button states.
On Windows, COM initialization has been removed since it caused segfaults
while releasing the DirectInput8 instance.
