Implement filterTrigger for PS3 controllers

The hid-sony driver has both analog and digital buttons for the triggers,
and the analog values range from -32767 to 32767, which can cause two unwanted
input events (digital button and negative axis) per press.

Implement a function to filter out unwanted input events during configuration,
but isolate detection to known PS3 controllers with 6 axes so that older versions
of hid-sony and the sixad driver (which use 25+ axes) are not impacted negatively.
