This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
The flags parameter has been removed from SDL_CreateRenderer() and SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC has been replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_PRESENT_VSYNC_NUMBER during window creation and SDL_PROP_RENDERER_VSYNC_NUMBER after renderer creation.
SDL_SetRenderVSync() now takes additional values besides 0 and 1.
The maximum texture size has been removed from SDL_RendererInfo, replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE_NUMBER.
The shorthand version of this function didn't allow specifying a controller name, which seems pretty important. It seems like anyone actually implementing a virtual joystick is going to want to use some of the extended functionality.
The pointer confinement protocol does allow attempted warping the pointer via a hint, provided that the pointer is locked at the time of the request, and the requested coordinates fall within the bounds of the window.
Toggle the pointer locked state and request the pointer warp when the required protocol is available. This is similar to what XWayland does internally.
Any app for this system that wants to move to SDL3 will have to adjust to
all the other API changes anyhow, so there's no need to keep these anymore.
Fixes#9678.
This clears up confusion about whether to use SDL_KeyCode or SDL_Keycode and makes it clear that the values aren't the full set of possible keycodes.

If we need to extend this in the future, we'll make a second struct and
a second SDL_AttachVirtualJoystickEx-style function that uses it.
Just zero the struct and don't set a version.
Fixes#9489.
