Support for hardware changes on Linux #26

Right now if a user plugs or unplugs a keyboard on Linux the library won't realize. Specially now that Linux correctly reports the device id, it should be possible to update hardware changes.

Windows gives this for free.

I'm also having this issue. A workaround could be to do the opposite, namely to run the code using the library from a udev rule.

PS: my context is hot plugging a USB keyboard (Anavi MacroPad8) on a headless Raspberry Pi (WebThings IoT gateway).
