Currently, the rawinput thread incorrectly spreads the timestamps over idle time if the poll interval is less than 100ms, and abruptly switches to lumping all accumulated inputs to happen simultaneously if it exceeds 100ms.
This means that any game which implements retroactive event handling based on timestamps will jarringly snap between the two polar opposite extremes of incorrect behaviour.
This PR replaces the arbitrary 100ms threshold with logic based on measuring the idle start and end time.
If the thread idled for more than 125000 nanoseconds, it is considered to have not had any input in its queue before it entered idle, and the events are spread over the interval between thread wake-up and pump finish, with the final input aligned to the pump finish time.
If the thread idled for less than 125000 nanoseconds, it is considered to have events entered at some point between last pump finish and thread entering sleep, and the events are spread over the full pump-to-pump interval.
Most SDL functions used to indicate success or failure using an int return code. These functions have been changed to return SDL_bool.
Here is a coccinelle patch to change code that previously compared the return value to 0 and changes it to a boolean test:

This was done to SDL_DisplayMode for consistency with SDL_Surface and gives it a type so we don't have to do casts in SDL code.
I considered switching to an ID and hashing the driver data, etc. but all of that involved a lot of internal code churn and this solution gives us flexibility in how we handle this in the future.
After consideration, I made this renaming global across the project, for consistency.
