* 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
This allows setting the brightness of the home LED on Nintendo Switch Pro controllers, in the range 0.0 - 1.0.
This can be updated at runtime by setting the hint dynamically.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/3787
* Read IMU scale data from Switch controllers. Up until now, SDL has used hard-coded scaling which isn't correct with some supported controllers.
* Moved declarations to beginning of code blocks to better fit with SDL style requirements
Since accessing Bluetooth prompts the user for permission on both Android and iOS, and we only need it for Steam Controller support, we'll leave it off by default. You can enable it by setting the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM to "1" before calling SDL_Init()
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4952
This prevents conflicts with hidapi linked with applications, as well as allowing applications to make use of HIDAPI on Android and other platforms that might not normally have an implementation available.

New hint to let the user opt out of having Switch controllers' Home button lit when opened.
This is more consistent with the Switch itself (which doesn't light the button normally) and may be preferred by users who may disconnect their controller without letting the application close it.
I think this warrants a Switch-specific hint because the default behaviour is unusual (inconsistent with using a Switch controller on a Switch itself or with some other programs on PC), and because of that it's distinct from other lights (the player number on Switch controllers and the player colour on PlayStation controllers).
Note that axes are changed to match the axes we're using with PlayStation controllers, since users will appreciate consistent behaviour across devices.
This fixes bad report parsing for various newer Xbox controllers, and this driver is now preferred over XInput, since it handles more than 4 controllers.
Added support for the PS4 controller gyro and accelerometer on iOS and HIDAPI drivers
Also fixed an issue with the accelerometer on iOS having inverted axes
Xbox Elite controllers use AUX1-AUX4 to represent the paddle buttons when using the HIDAPI driver
PS4 and PS5 controllers use AUX1 to represent the touchpad button
Nintendo Switch Pro controllers use AUX1 to represent the capture button
