Same approach as chosen in libinput-record, this leaves the F1-F10 out
but otherwise prints every other "normal" key (including modifiers) as
KEY_A.
In the future we may need some more specific approach but for now this
will do. For the use-cases where we do need some specific approach,
libinput record and libinput debug-events will still show the full
keycode on request anyway.

In addition to the evdev_frame this struct is what contains our actual
events instead of a struct input_event. The goal of this is twofold:
slightly better memory usage per frame since we can skip the timestamp
and refer to the evdev frame's timestamp only. This also improves
handling a frame since we no longer need to care about updating
all events when the timestamp changes during appending events.
Secondly it merges the evdev type + code into a single "usage"
(term obviously and shamelessly stolen from HID). Those usages
are the same as the code names but with an extra EVDEV_ prepended,
i.e. EV_SYN / SYN_REPORT becomes EVDEV_SYN_REPORT.
And they are wrapped in a newtype so passing it around provides
some typesafety.
This only switches one part of the processing over, the dispatch
interfaces still use a struct input_event

The kernel only ever gives us a frame of events in one go (it flushes on
SYN_REPORT). We then need to look at that frame as a single state change
(keyboards excepted for historical reasons) so let's push this into a
proper struct we can pass around.
