Target: Read gyro data using hidapi-hidraw library instead of /dev/usb/hiddev*

Advantages:

  • simplified installation: no root access required on Steam Deck to install SteamDeckGyroDSU, because hidraw devices are already exposed to deck user (as opposed to /dev/usb/hiddev)
  • saves CPU resources - data from /dev/usb/hiddev* need one more layer of processing to get a resulting frame.

Checklist:

  • switch from hiddev file to hidapi
  • adjust installation/update script
  • test build for Stable OS
  • test on Stable OS
  • test on Preview OS
  • update instructions/wiki
