Currently checking for new linux input devices is called from the rendering thre…ad. We've been getting reports of skipped frames on raspberry pi. Specifically if eventlirc is active and you have an LIRC capable device connected the hotplug check is slow and you get a frame skip every ten seconds. So move this code into its own thread

Once the fix is accepted in master we’ll pick it up for Jarvis/OSMC.
