Don't use udev for joystick enumeration if running in a container

If we are running in a container, like Flatpak[1] or pressure-vessel[2],
it's likely that we are using user namespaces,
therefore udev event notification via netlink won't work reliably.
Use their filesystem API to detect them and automatically fallback to
the inotify-based enumeration.
