Since #5602, SDL is intended to have the same ABI across the whole
major-version 2 cycle, so we should not check that the minor version
matches the one that was used to compile an application.
There are two checks that could make sense here.
The first check is that the major version matches the expected major
version. This is usually unnecessary and is not usually done (if we're
calling into the wrong library we'll likely crash anyway), but since we
have the information, we might as well continue to use it.
The second check is whether the version provided by the caller is
equal to or greater than a threshold version at which additional fields
were added to the struct. If it is, we should populate those fields;
if it is not, then we cannot. This is only useful on platforms where
additional fields have genuinely been added during the lifetime of
SDL 2, like Windows and DirectFB (but not X11).
This commit changes the first check to be consistent about only looking
at the minor version, while leaving the second check using SDL_VERSIONNUM
(which will be removed or widened in SDL 3, but it's fine for now).

Since OpenGL is deprecated on iOS, it is advantageous to be able to remove all OpenGL related code when building SDL for iOS. This patch adds the necessary #if checks to compile in this case.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.
Note that extra steps must be taken when using glReadPixels to read the contents of the main OpenGL ES framebuffer on iOS, if multisampling is used. See the OpenGL ES section of README-ios.md for details.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
