input: Document why x-input-send-event is still experimental
The x-input-send-event command was introduced in 2.2 with mention that it is experimental, but now that several releases have elapsed without any changes, it would be nice to document why that was done and should still remain experimental in 2.5. Meanwhile, our documentation states that we prefer 'lower-case', rather than 'CamelCase', for qapi enum values. The InputButton and InputAxis enums violate this convention. However, because they are currently used primarily for generating code that is used internally; and their only exposure through QMP is via the experimental 'x-input-send-event' command, we are free to change their spelling. Of course, it would be nicer to delay such a change until the same time we promote the command to non-experimental. Adding documentation will help us remember to do that rename. We have plans to tighten the qapi generator to flag instances of inconsistent use of naming conventions; if that lands first, it will just need to whitelist these exceptions until the time we settle on the final interface. Fix a typo in the docs for InputAxis while at it.
