HID: generic: create one input report per application type

It is not a good idea to try to fit all types of applications in the
same input report. There are a lot of devices that are needing
the quirk HID_MULTI_INPUT but this quirk doesn't match the actual HID
description as it is based on the report ID.

Given that most devices with MULTI_INPUT I can think of split nicely
the devices inputs into application, it is a good thing to split the
devices by default based on this assumption.

Also make hid-multitouch following this rule, to not have to deal
with too many input created.

While we are at it, fix some checkpatch complaints about converting
'unsigned' to 'unsigned int'.

HID: core: rewrite the hid-generic automatic unbind

We actually can have the unbind/rebind logic in hid-core.c, leaving
only the match function in hid-generic.

This makes hid-generic simpler and the whole logic simpler too.

HID: core: remove the absolute need of hid_have_special_driver[]

Most HID devices behave properly when they are used with hid-generic.
Since kernel v4.12, we do not poll for input reports at plug in, so
hid-generic should behave properly with all HID devices.

There has been a long standing list of HID devices that have a special
driver. It used to be just a few, but with time, this list went too big,
and we can not ask users to know which HID special driver will pick up
their device.

We can teach hid-generic to be nice with others. If a device is not
explicitly marked with HID_QUIRK_HAVE_SPECIAL_DRIVER, we can allow
hid-generic to pick up the device as long as no other loaded HID driver
will match the device.

When the special driver appears, hid-generic can step back and let
the special driver handling the device. In case this special driver
is removed, this good old pal of hid-generic will rebind to the device.

This basically makes the list hid_have_special_driver[] useless. It
still allows to not see a hid-generic driver bound and removed during
boot, so we can keep it around.

This will also help other people to have a special HID driver without
the need of recompiling hid-core.

HID: Use module_hid_driver macro

Use the new module_hid_driver macro in all HID drivers that have
a simple register/unregister init/exit.

This also converts the hid drivers that test for a failure of
hid_register_driver() and report the failure. Using module_hid_driver
in those drivers removes the failure message.

HID: Create a common generic driver

Move the hid drivers of the bus drivers to a common generic hid
driver, and make it a proper module. This ought to simplify device
handling moving forward.
