Read multiple events per `read()` call instead of one-by-one. This prevents input loss when the app loop runs slower than the event rate.

Read multiple events per
read()call instead of one-by-one. This prevents input loss when the app loop runs slower than the event rate.This is necessary with "chatty" gamepads, such as the DualShock4 in bluetooth mode with the recent hid-playstation driver, which generates 1000+ events per seconds.
