[PATCH libinput] evdev: Be more careful about what we consider a joystick

After switching my main workstation over to using xf86-input-libinput, I
noticed that the multi-media keys like play/pause on my keyboard no longer
worked.

It turns out that the second hid interface on my keyboard which has the
multimedia-keys, also declares having: BTN_BASE6 and BTN_MODE which both
fell into the range we were using to test for something being a joystick.

The commit makes our joystick test mode strict, restoring functionality
of the multi-media keys on the keyboard in question.
