Add Device::send_event
and RawDevice::send_event
.
Some devices (such as keyboards) support writing events through event nodes to turn LEDs off and on, play sound effects or play ff effects. This commits adds the appropriate methods in the public API of the crate. I also added an example to showcase the new functionality.
