18eeaea054 Implement SInput Device Support (#13343)
This implements a new SDL HID driver for a format developed by Hand Held Legend for their gamepad devices called SInput

Devices that are supported by this change with well-defined mappings

GC Ultimate ( https://gcultimate.com )
ProGCC ( https://handheldlegend.com/products/progcc-kit-wireless-wired-bundle )

The SInput format is documented here: https://github.com/HandHeldLegend/SInput-HID

48dfc03a87 Added the gamepad hint SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_GAMECUBE_LABELS
This is for internal use to signal that a mapping uses positional GameCube buttons. It's set so we know whether a mapping uses the older style labeled buttons or the newer style positional buttons. If a positional mapping is used with SDL2, then it will be ignored, since the hint is marked as defaulting true and the mapping conditional is that the hint is false.

31650d566c Added SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_GAMECUBE
The GameCube controller has a different face button layout than the Xbox or Nintendo Switch style controllers. It has the B button on the left and the X button on the right, so we should map those to SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_WEST with SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_LABEL_B and SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_EAST with SDL_GAMEPAD_BUTTON_LABEL_X respectively.

35c03774f3 [SDL3] Adding input and FFB support for Logitech G29(PS3) on hidapi (#11598)
These changes enable the Logitech G29 wheel to run on hidapi with both SDL_Joystick and SDL_Haptic interfaces.

While it is already possible to use the wheel on Linux in WINE + SDL2 thanks to the in-tree evdev driver as well as new-lg4ff, these set of changes allow the G29 to be used with WINE under MacOS and FreeBSD

These wheels should also be supported, but I can only test them from G29's compat modes: G27, G25, DFGT, DFP, DFEX

Haptic and led support are ported from https://github.com/berarma/new-lg4ff

84a236c92e hashtable: Redesign the hashtable API.
This was intended to make the API public, so SDL_hashtable.h got an extreme
documentation makeover, but for now this remains a private header.

This makes several significant interface changes to SDL_HashTable, and
improves code that makes use of it in various ways.

- The ability to make "stackable" tables is removed. Apparently this still
  worked with the current implementation, but I could see a future
  implementation struggle mightily to support this. It'll be better for
  something external to build on top of the table if it needs it, inserting a
  linked list of stacked items as the hash values and managing them separately.
  There was only one place in SDL using this, unnecessarily, and that has also
  been cleaned up to not need it.
- You no longer specify "buckets" when creating a table, but rather an
  estimated number of items the table is meant to hold. The bucket count was
  crucial to our classic hashtable implementation, but meant less once we
  moved to an Open Addressing implementation anyhow, since the bucket count
  isn't static (and they aren't really "buckets" anymore either). Now you
  can just report how many items you think the hash will hold and SDL will
  allocate a reasonable default for you...or 0 to not guess, and SDL will
  start small and grow as necessary, which is often the correct thing to do.
- There's no more SDL_IterateHashTableKey because there's no more "stackable"
  hash tables.
- SDL_IterateHashTable() now uses a callback, which matches other parts of SDL,
  and also lets us hold the read-lock for the entire iteration and get rid of
  the goofy iterator state variable.
- SDL_InsertIntoHashTable() now lets you specify whether to replace existing
  keys or fail if the key already exists.
- Callbacks now use SDL conventions (userdata as the first param).
- Other naming convention fixes.

I discovered we use a lot of hash tables in SDL3 internally. :) So the bulk
of this work is fixing up that code to use the new interfaces, and simplifying
things (like checking for an item to remove it if it already exists before
inserting a replacement...just do the insert atomically, it'll do all that
for you!).

4f55271571 Removed temporary memory from the API
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.
