HID: wiimote: add sysfs extension/device-type attrs
Two new attributes, "extension" and "devtype" now allow user-space to read the extension type and device type. As device detection is asynchronous, we send a CHANGED event after it is done. This also allows user-space to wait for a device to settle before opening its input event devices. The "extension" device is compatible with the old "extension" sysfs field (which was registered by the static extension support code).

+Description: While a device is initialized by the wiimote driver, we perform
+ a device detection and signal a "change" uevent after it is
+ done. This file shows the detected device type. "pending" means
+ that the detection is still ongoing, "unknown" means, that the
+ device couldn't be detected or loaded. "generic" means, that the
+ device couldn't be detected but supports basic Wii Remote
+ features and can be used.
+ Other strings for each device-type are available and may be
+ added if new device-specific detections are added.
+ Currently supported are:
+ gen10: First Wii Remote generation
+ gen20: Second Wii Remote Plus generation (builtin MP)
+ balanceboard: Wii Balance Board
