Userspace daemon to combine joy-cons from hid-nintendo

Edit Package joycond
https://github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond

joycond is a linux daemon which uses the evdev devices provided by hid-nintendo (formerly known as hid-joycon) to implement joycon pairing.

---

When a joy-con or pro controller is connected via bluetooth or USB, the player LEDs should start blinking periodically. This signals that the controller is in pairing mode.

For the pro controller, pressing both triggers will "pair" it.

With the joy-cons, to use a single contoller alone, hold ZL and L at the same time (ZR and R for the right joy-con). Alternatively, hold both S triggers at once.

To combine two joy-cons into a virtual input device, press a single trigger on both of them at the same time. A new uinput device will be created called "Nintendo Switch Combined Joy-Cons".

Rumble support is now functional for the combined joy-con uinput device.

- Lessened reverse dependency of kmod(hid_nintendo), as otherwise
  joycond will be installed on any machine that runs Linux >= 5.16.
(this is quite important: it made sense when hid_nintendo was provided the hid-nintendo kmp package, however now not everyone that runs tumbleweed needs it)

- Clarified license: changed GPL-3.0 to GPL-3.0-or-later
- Package descriptions are not supposed to be manuals: Strip
  instructions from package descriptions.
- Use noun phrase for summaries/descriptions.

Yes, hid_nintendo doesn't seem available on s390x: https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:sp1rit/hid-nintendo/openSUSE_Leap_15.4/s390x

Presumably a ExcludeArch: s390x is the best way to go?
