Currently, our custom compositor uses libinput and udev in order to get input events and list devices. This might be
good for a standalone gstreamer plugin, but in Wolf it would be even better to just feed mouse and keyboard events
directly from the Moonlight client. This will allow us to run Wolf without uinput and udev if users don't need
joypad support.

We should expose the InputEvent via the C API so that these events can be sent directly.
