This breaks applications using them in DirectInput mode, which isn't worth just getting battery status. We'll turn on enhanced mode if the application enables sensors.
This adds HIDAPI support for DualShock 3 controllers on Windows, addressing the current absence of this feature in SDL. To utilize this functionality, the official Sony driver 'sixaxis.sys' must be installed. HID offers several advantages over DirectInput, including rumble support and the ability to control the LED lights that display the controller number.
On Android, HIDAPI prompts for permissions and acquires exclusive access to the device, and on Apple mobile platforms it doesn't do anything except for handling Bluetooth Steam Controllers.

Joystick drivers are sorted by priority in the driver list, and higher priority drivers report whether they are handling a device when lower priority drivers want to add it to their device list.
This has been handled ad-hoc with the Windows and HIDAPI drivers, but this formalizes the idea and makes sure that GameInput has the highest priority of the Windows drivers.
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.

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.
The 8BitDo Zero 2 only sends reports when state changes, so trips the disconnected Bluetooth controller detection. The expected use case is that most people will have official PS4 controllers in enhanced report mode, so disconnected Bluetooth controller detection will still work for those.
