Re: [w3c/gamepad] Terminology of inputs. (#131)

Addon to this. I suggest the term "gamepad" to describe a human interface device that uses one or multiple of the above described inputs. Gamepad's by definition only interact with the human in such a way that the human uses their hands or feet to manipulate the input's output value.

Other HID devices will thus be described under a different term.

A gamepad with the following inputs (not taking into account on their placements on the actual hardware) would be of type "standard gamepad":
* 9 buttons
* 2 triggers
* 1 dpad
* 2 joysticks
