Removed duplicate hints SDL_HINT_APP_NAME, SDL_HINT_APP_ID, and
SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME.
Wired up a few things to use the metadata; more to come!

It was intended to make the API easier to use, but various automatic garbage collection all had flaws, and making the application periodically clean up temporary memory added cognitive load to using the API, and in many cases was it was difficult to restructure threaded code to handle this.
So, we're largely going back to the original system, where the API returns allocated results and you free them.
In addition, to solve the problems we originally wanted temporary memory for:
* Short strings with a finite count, like device names, get stored in a per-thread string pool.
* Events continue to use temporary memory internally, which is cleaned up on the next event processing cycle.
Move the Wayland pointer warp emulation code up to the SDL mouse layer, and activate it when a client attempts to warp a hidden mouse cursor when the hint is set.
testrelative adds the ability to test the warp emulation activation/deactivation with the --warp parameter and 'c' key for toggling cursor visibility.
This change also decouples the pause/resume handling from the video subsystem on Android, so applications that don't use SDL for video can get application life cycle events.
The semantics for the life cycle events are that they need to be handled in an event watch callback, and once they've been delivered, the application will block until it's been resumed. SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE can be used to control that behavior, and if that's set to "0", then the application will continue to run in the background at low CPU usage until being resumed or stopped.
SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE_PAUSEAUDIO has been removed, and the audio will be paused when the application is paused.

SDL_BlitSurfaceScaled() is more flexible and uses the SDL_SoftStretch() fast path when possible. Having two surface scaling APIs was confusing, especially when one of them has unexpected limitations.
This was originally to avoid duplicating clipping work in Maelstrom on a 486 computer. This has been confusing for users and computers are a little faster these days, so we'll make it work the way people expect.
Applying these changes to external code doesn't actually improve anything, and within the context of the other Get* functions for renderers and surfaces, these stand out as outliers, so I'm going to back this change out.
It also now caches at the higher level, so the platform-specific bits don't
change their interface much.
A little code hygiene work was applied to some of the platform bits on top of
this.
Reference Issue #10229.
While it makes sense to get an object pointer from an object ID, you want to get object attributes for an ID, otherwise e.g. GetNameFromID() sounds like it's a name ID, not an object ID. This is also consistent with the function naming convention in SDL2.
Currently, all SDL_Surfaces with an indexed pixel format have an
associated SDL_Palette. This palette either consists of entirely the
colour black, or -- in the special case of 1-bit surfaces, black and
white.
When an indexed surface is blitted to another indexed surface, a 'map'
is generated from the source surface's palette to the destination
surfaces palette, in order to preserve the look of the image if the
palettes differ.
However, in most cases, applications will want to blit the raw index
values, rather than translate to make the colours as similar as
possible. For instance, the destination surface's palette may have been
modified to fade the screen out.
This change allows an indexed surface to have no associated palette. If
either the source or destination surface of a blit do not have a
palette, then the raw indices are copied (assuming both have an indexed
format).
This mimics better what happens with most other APIs (such as
DirectDraw), where most users do not set a palette on any surface but
the screen, whose palette is implicitly used for the whole application.
