Wrong typing on evdev.categorize

[bastian-wattro]

As of v1.9.1 categorize (

python-evdev/src/evdev/util.py

Line 35 in 82d09f6

def categorize(event: InputEvent) -> InputEvent:

)
is typed to return InputEvent which is correct if it cannot be categorized but wrong in all other cases.

A quick fix would be to change the return value to InputEvent | KeyEvent | RelEvent | AbsEvent | SynEvent.

There are probably more involved solutions that help tools like mypy to narrow down the value correctly.

I would be willing to set up a PR if this is wanted.
