DESCRIPTION
       Returns the joystick type.  If the type is
       ALLEGRO_JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD, then you can use the
       ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_BUTTON(3) and ALLEGRO_GAMEPAD_STICK(3) to interpret the
       button/stick events and states more easily.  Joystick types will
       typically be unknown unless al_set_joystick_mappings(3) is called
       first.
