Move joystick pos-definition to separate function

Move section that defines joystick position enum to a separate function
(outside of joystick class), this makes it usable for other inputs as
well
- create new function joystick_evaluatePosition
- call the new function in joystickgetData (where code was initially)
- change function joystick_generateCommandsDriving to accept joystick
  data struct instead of joystick object as parameter -> makes the
  function usable with other input than hardware joystick too
