Adds support for the MSI Claw A8 Guide button. Event from 'MSI WMI hotkeys' requires a kernel patch to function.
While at it, add event filtering for all MSI Claw devices so only the real capabilities are exposed.

Closes #599 when paired with this kernel patch: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/20260611223920.1679438-1-derekjohn.clark@gmail.com/
