Make enum values typed strings (#18)

This also moves validation into the parsing process and refactors a bunch of code related to the config.

 Configuration is divided into three sections: `devices`, `modes`, and `rules`. Each yaml file can have any number of these sections; joyful will combine the configuration from all files at runtime.
 
-### Device configuration
+## Device configuration
 
-Each entry in `devices` must have a couple of parameters:
+Each entry in `devices` must have these parameters:
 
 * `name` - This is an identifier that your rules will use to refer to the device. It is recommended to avoid spaces or special characters.
-* `type` - Should be `physical` for an input device, and `virtual` for an output device.
+* `type` - 'physical' for an input device, 'virtual' for an output device.
 
-`physical` devices must additionally define these parameters:
+### Physical Devices
+
+`physical` devices have these additional parameters:
 
 * `device_name` - The name of the device as reported by the included `evinfo` command. If your device name ends with a space, use quotation marks (`""`) around the name.
+* `device_path` - If you have multiple devices that report the same name, you can use `device_path` instead of `device_name`. Setting this will cause the device to be opened directly via the device file. 
+    * It is recommended to use the `by-path` symlinks, e.g., `/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:0d:00.0-usbv2-0:3:1.0-event-joystick`.
+    * Note that this method may be slightly unreliable since these identifiers may change if they are plugged into different USB ports or in the rare case that the USB topology changes (e.g., you add a new USB hub).
+    * On the other hand, this method causes the device to be opened considerably faster, lowering Joyful's startup time substantially. If this is important to you this method may be preferable.
+* `lock` - If set to 'true', the device will be locked for exclusive access. This means that your game will not see any events from the device, so you'll need to make sure you map every button you want to use. Setting this to 'false' might be useful if you're just mapping a few joystick buttons to keyboard buttons. This value defaults to 'true'.
 
-`virtual` devices can additionally define these parameters:
+`device_path` is given higher priority than `device_name`; if both are specified, `device_path` will be used.
 
+### Virtual Devices
+
+`virtual` devices have these additional parameters:
+
+* `preset` - Can be 'joystick', 'gamepad', 'mouse', or 'keyboard', and will configure the virtual device to look like and emit an appropriate set of outputs based on the name. For exactly which axes and buttons are defined for each type, see the `Capabilities` values in [internal/config/variables.go](internal/config/variables.go).
 * `buttons` or `num_buttons` - Either a list of explicit buttons or a number of buttons to create. (max 74 buttons) Linux-native games may not recognize all buttons created by Joyful.
 * `axes` or `num_axes` - An explicit list of `ABS_` axes or a number to create.
 * `relative_axes` or `num_relative_axes` - As above, but for `REL_` axes.
 
 A couple of additional notes on virtual devices:
 
-* For all 3 of the above options, an explicit list will override the `num_` parameters if both are present.
-* Some environments will only register mouse events if the device *only* supports mouse-like events, so it can be useful to isolate your `relative_axes` to their own virtual device and explicitly define the axes.
+* Users are encouraged to use the `preset` options whenever possible. They have the highest probability of working the way you expect. If you need to output to multiple types of device, the best approach is to create multiple virtual devices.
+* For all 3 of the above options, there is a priority order. If you specify a `preset`, it will be used ignoring any other settings. An explicit list will override the corresponding `num_` parameter.
+* Some environments/applications are prescriptive about what combinations make sense; for example, they will only register mouse events if the device *only* supports mouse-like events. The `presets` attempt to take this into account. If you are defining capabilities manually and attempt to mix and match button codes, you may also run into this problem.
 
-### Rules configuration
+## Rules configuration
 
 All `rules` must have a `type` parameter. Valid values for this parameter are:
