[w3c/gamepad] Mapping of HID Events to the Gamepad API (#56)

Most gamepads use the HID protocol to communicate with the computer, either via USB or Bluetooth.

In general, the [document ]( http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf) specifies on how to support a HID Gamepad. In practise, the support of operating system is much more limited (e.g. 
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/141883/composite-hid-gamepad-descriptor-works-on-windows-but-not-on-linux)

For the new gamepad extensions, sensor data be transmitted using the "HID Sensor Usage Tables". http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/HUTRR39b.pdf

But then again, it is not clear on how HID related to the gamepad extension API. 

I would suggest to define a proper mapping fom HID to W3C - other, I guess, we will get a mess.
