Why have the concept of a stick if they only have one axis?

As I've said before, I think it's perfectly reasonable to add a new
way of filling out the joystick information that's configurable via
allegro5.cfg (i.e. you can get the current 'legacy' mode like that),
this has precedent. In terms of API, I imagine this could mean that
every stick would now have only a single axis, and we could add a
`al_get_joystick_raw_axis{_name,_flags}(joy, axis)` function and
slowly deprecate the other APIs. I kind of like A5's way of doing this
over SDLs, but if it cannot be made to work, I think we should abandon
it. -SL
