This heuristic for gamepads without a more specific mapping already
tried two incompatible conventions for handling triggers: the Linux
Gamepad Specification uses hat switch 2 for the triggers (for whatever
reason), but the de facto standard set by the drivers for older Xbox
and Playstation controllers represents each trigger as the Z-axis of
the nearest analog stick.
Android documentation encourages Bluetooth gamepad manufacturers to use
a third incompatible convention where the left and right triggers are
represented as the brake and gas pedals of a driving simulator
controller. The Android convention also changes the representation of
the right stick: instead of using X and Y rotation as a second pair
of axes, Android uses Z position as a second horizontal axis, and
Z rotation as a second vertical axis.
Try to cope gracefully with all of these. This will hopefully resolve
the issue described in #5406 (when using unpatched kernels).
