This will make it possible to have mappings for different controllers
that have the same VID/PID. This happens frequently with some generic
controller boards that have been reused in many products.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6004
This controller actually comes in at least two flavors: a GameCube controller and an arcade pad, neither of which should have the face buttons remapped.
The Nintendo Online Sega Genesis controller reports the SNES VID/PID over Bluetooth. This is a more robust way of handling future controllers as well, so let's go with this instead.
Also use full reports over Bluetooth, and don't report gyro for Nintendo Online classic controllers.
* Added support for mini-gamepad mode for Joy-Con controllers, matching the mapping for hid-nintendo on Linux and iOS 16
* Added the ability to merge left and right Joy-Con controllers into a single Pro-style controller
* Added the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_SWITCH_COMBINE_JOY_CONS to control this merging functionality
* Removed the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_JOY_CONS
Events to handle controller touchpads and sensors were added to the library but not added in `SDL_GameControllerEventState()`. This change adds the missing events.
Added the ability to specify a name and the product VID/PID for a virtual controller
Also added a test case to testgamecontroller, if you pass --virtual as a parameter

I'm testing with DualShock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro Controller, and PowerA Switch Controller.
I'm using the standard mapping file from here:
https://raw.github.com/gabomdq/SDL_GameControllerDB/master/gamecontrollerdb.txt
With SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS turned off (set to "0") I expect the button positions to be the same on all devices, based on Xbox controller button naming (eg SDL_GameControllerGetButton(g, SDL_CONTROLLER_BUTTON_Y) gives me whether the North face button is pressed).
However, the Switch Pro Controller layout is wrong (matching labels rather than positions, so X and Y are swapped and A and B are swapped). And with the PowerA controller the East and West buttons are correct, but the North and South buttons are swapped instead.

Also seeing this on 2.0.14. This is most likely a regression, since we weren't seeing this on an earlier SDL version.
I suspect it might be caused by this commit:
a569b21188 (diff-da9344d94c66b8c702a45e7649f412039f08bba83bd82de33f5c80ea9c8c39d5)
It seems like both the HIDAPI driver and SDL_gamecontroller.c will try to swap the buttons if the hint is set to 0, causing the button remap to cancel out.
