joystick: Allow libudev to be disabled at runtime

Device enumeration via libudev can fail in a container for two reasons:

* the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev is considered private,
  so there is no API guarantee that the version of libudev in a container
  will understand netlink messages from a dissimilar version of udevd
  on the host system;
* the netlink protocol between udevd and libudev relies for security on
  being able to check the uid of each message, but in a container with
  a user namespace where host uid 0 is not mapped, the libudev client
  cannot distinguish between messages from host uid 0 and messages from
  a different, malicious user on the host

To make this easier to experiment with, always compile the fallback
code path even if libudev is disabled. libudev remains the default if
enabled at compile time, but the fallback code path can be forced.
