This makes it easier for games that don't use the gamepad API to handle D-Pad navigation, and is consistent with many other non-HIDAPI mappings.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/8754
Added support for getting the real controller info, as well as the function SDL_GetGamepadSteamHandle() to get the Steam Input API handle, from the virtual gamepads provided by Steam.
Also added an event SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_STEAM_HANDLE_UPDATED which is triggered when a controller's API handle changes, e.g. the controllers were reassigned slots in the Steam UI.
This means the allocator's caller doesn't need to use SDL_OutOfMemory directly
if the allocation fails.
This applies to the usual allocators: SDL_malloc, SDL_calloc, SDL_realloc
(all of these regardless of if the app supplied a custom allocator or we're
using system malloc() or an internal copy of dlmalloc under the hood),
SDL_aligned_alloc, SDL_small_alloc, SDL_strdup, SDL_asprintf, SDL_wcsdup...
probably others. If it returns something you can pass to SDL_free, it should
work.
The caller might still need to use SDL_OutOfMemory if something that wasn't
SDL allocated the memory: operator new in C++ code, Objective-C's alloc
message, win32 GlobalAlloc, etc.
Fixes#8642.
Automatically map controllers as gamepads when using the GCController framework and prefer the physicalInputProfile when possible.
Testing with macOS 13.4.1, macOS 14.1.1, iOS 15.7.4, tvOS 17.1:
* iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad (macOS only)
* Logitech F310 (macOS only)
* Apple TV remote (tvOS only)
* Nimbus MFi controller
* PS4 DualShock controller
* PS5 DualSense controller
* Xbox Series X controller
* Xbox Elite Series 2 controller
* Nintendo Switch Pro controller
* Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers
This gives applications and binding systems a clearer view of what the hardware is so they can make intelligent decisions about how to present things to the user.
Gamepad mappings continue to use abxy for the face buttons for simplicity and compatibility with earlier versions of SDL, however the "SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS" hint no longer has any effect.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6117
The following objects now have properties that can be user modified:
* SDL_AudioStream
* SDL_Gamepad
* SDL_Joystick
* SDL_RWops
* SDL_Renderer
* SDL_Sensor
* SDL_Surface
* SDL_Texture
* SDL_Window
testcontroller expects to be able to call SDL_GetGamepadStringForButton() and find that name in the binding string
We can revisit this later if it becomes important to use new names in bindings. @smcv
The sequence order of the four paddles is not obvious, with SDL and Xbox
controllers swapping the order of P2 and P3 relative to each other.
If we group them into left and right, then it becomes more obvious.

The current status is stored in the SDL_rwops 'status' field to be able to determine whether a 0 return value is caused by end of file, an error, or a non-blocking source not being ready.
The functions to read sized datatypes now return SDL_bool so you can detect read errors.

The gamepad vs joystick events always happen in this order:
SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_ADDED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_ADDED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMAPPED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMOVED
SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_REMOVED
Whenever a mapping is changed, any controller affected by that mapping will generate a gamepad event. You will only get one SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMAPPED event per controller per batch of mapping changes, where SDL_AddGamepadMappingsFromFile() and SDL_AddGamepadMapping() are each a batch of changes.
Also renamed most cases of SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN to SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_STANDARD, and SDL_GetGamepadType() will return SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_UNKNOWN only if the gamepad is invalid.
Removing SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_VIRTUAL allows a virtual controller to emulate another gamepad type. The other controller types can be treated as generic controllers by applications without special glyph or functionality treatment.
This reverts commit 6251504ac8aeb632cba5c9bb3502ad3628bc1bb3.
This is added CPU cost for a use case that was never supported. testcontroller will explicitly clear any previous binding, so I'm backing this out until there is a good use case.
