axis monitoring now watches for changes instead of absolute

Will now keep the last axis reading and compare against that, instead of
just using a deviation from the center value.

That means it will correctly work with axes that do not have a resting
position in the center, e.g. physical throttles.

Also added the Z, R, U, V axis (aka all AHK axes are now supported)

fixes #1

makes #2 less pressing :)
