fix autorepeat not being triggered when inside deadzone

when the joystick is moved there is an SDL_Event, but when inside the deadzone the position of the joystick will not be updated. In this case should_publish remains false. However, before this commit we would not trigger the autorepeat functionality in this case.

Now we trigger the autorepeat functionality everytime where we didnt update the joystick (due to deadzone) or when there was no SDL_Event.
