Make joystick platform code init on demand

This makes joystick support initialize the first time a joystick
function is called, including those gamepad functions that are layered
on top of joystick functions.

+
+The joystick part of GLFW is now initialized when first used, primarily to work
+around faulty Windows drivers that cause DirectInput to take up to several
+seconds to enumerate devices.
+
+This change will usually not be observable.  However, if your application waits
+for events without having first called any joystick function or created any
+visible windows, the wait may never unblock as GLFW may not yet have subscribed
+to joystick related OS events.
+
+To work around this, call any joystick function before waiting for events, for
+example by setting a [joystick callback](@ref joystick_event).
