Triggerhappy added support for pure REL/ABS devices

(such as rotary encoders) Some input devices such as rotary encoders don't have keys or switches, but can generate EV_REL/EV_ABS events. This simple change allows these devices to be used with triggerhappy. Developer: https://github.com/trurle wertarbyte/triggerhappy#31 Signed-off-by: melsem <[email protected]>
