Include guards in most changed files were missing, I added them keeping
the same style as other SDL files. In some cases I moved the include
guards around to be the first thing the header has to take advantage of
any possible improvements compiler may have for inclusion guards.
SDL_UDEV_Scan must be called during SDL_SYS_HapticInit to ensure devices
outside of the 0-31 range are added to the list of haptic devices.
Fixes Bugzilla #3923.

With Direct Input device (MOMO Steering Wheel w/FF)
with SDL 2.0.3,
SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() would fail. (Can't set exclusive mode)
Now with 2.0.4 rc1,
SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick() succeeds but the the returned SDL_Haptic* cannot be used. Calls to SDL_HapticNewEffect() fail with "Haptic error Unable to create effect"
If SDL_HapticOpen() is used instead of HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the device is usable. Calls to HapticNewEffect() succeed with the exact same parameters as the previous failing call.
I have attached a proposed patch for this issue.
When using SDL_HapticOpenFromJoystick(), the original code did not (re)enumerate the axes. This returned a new haptic device with 0 axes. Later, when a new effect is created, SDL_SYS_SetDirection() would set the flags to include DIEFF_SPHERICAL, regardless of what the caller actually set. (see Line 566 in SDL_dinputhaptic.c). This would cause the SDL_HapticNewEffect() to fail (or interpret the coordinates incorreclty.)
The patch moves the call to IDirectInputDevice8_EnumObjects() outside of the if() block so that the axes are (re)enumerated for the new haptic device.
Note: For steering wheels it is common for the joystick to have multiple axes (ie steering, throttle, brake), but the haptic portion of the joystick usually only applies to steering.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.
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().
