Add device event in service control to allow the user to receive and handle device events. The data of those events is for the moment not parsed. Converting those events to Rust is not trivial, and we can let the user do it rather than doing it in his place, when he does not necessarily care for all the different type of device events.

I have recently needed to receive device events as a windows service, and found out that I couldn't with the current version of windows-service. This PR is here to make this possible.
To receive those events, a call to
RegisterDeviceNotificationmust be done. This is of course not done in this crate and let instead to the user.Then, instead of parsing the event data for every subtype of device events, I've chosen to keep the event data in raw form, and let the user of the crate do this parsing. This does not seem to be quite how the rest of the service event handler is written, but this is by far the simplest:
RegistryDeviceNotificationSo all in all, it's imho much simpler and also efficient to let the user handle the conversion of this event data into rust. For example in my case, I only need to handle device arrival, and only some subset of those events.
Let me know what you think, or if you would prefer parsing those events to provide a nicer experience to the user. Also, thanks for your work on this crate :)
