Small batch of input refactoring:
emu/input.cpp: Fixed regression in display of some joystick inputs. osd/interface: Split up interface classes into a few more files to reduce where the input device interface class needs to be included. Made OSD independent of concrete input_device class. osd/modules/input, emu/inputdev.cpp, emu/ioport.cpp: Allow input devices to provide tokens for controls without standard item types and additional default input assignments. Fixes issues assigning Yen and Backslash on Japanese keyboards. ui/textbox.cpp: Added a fixed-content text box menu class for future use. Got main.h out of emu.h as it’s only used in a very small number of places, mostly for getting the application name. Added eminline.h to attotime.h as it's used without emu.h. Cleaned up forward declarations in emufwd.h a little.
