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.
The Game Controller Kit doesn't show the controllers at startup, so the HIDAPI driver sees them first and therefore gets preference when a controller is supported by both drivers.
This fixes bug https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4209
To enter Bluetooth pairing mode hold B and Action (button with circle) buttons for 3 seconds.
It works via usual HIDAPI if special filter driver is not installed:

With that driver installed it mimics Xbox One controller and works via XInput under Windows.
Under DInput this controller is not usable at all.
When Xbox One/Series Controllers are connected via USB on Windows they all are using `XBOXGIP` driver and produce a special ProductID `0x02FF` (GIP software PID) for any connected controller.
On the other hand `Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Reciever` (PID 0x0719) is using `XUSB` driver and produces special ProductID `0x02A1` (XUSB software PID) for each connected Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.
Also fixed Xbox One Series X Controller comment.
I have a buggy system which reports a udev "change" event for an empty
USB-C port every 0.14 seconds, which causes annoying frame hitches
because SDL decides that means it needs to do a libusb hid_enumerate,
which is slow (~25ms!) because of the get_usb_string() calls in there.
We only need to re-enumerate if we've seen a device added or removed, so
let's filter out the change event first.

In the extremely unlikely event that inotify is not available (and,
therefore, HAVE_INOTIFY is not #defined), SDL will no-longer build.
This is because <unistd.h> is only included when HAVE_INOTIFY is
defined, and PR #4098 adds a call to access(…, F_OK), which requires
<unistd.h>.
(Note that the F_OK symbol is the only one which actually prevented
SDL from compiling, but both access() and close() fell back to implicit
definitions, which is a bit concerning.)
Fixes: 8d43f45a7b ("Don't use udev for joystick enumeration if running in a container")
If we are running in a container, like Flatpak[1] or pressure-vessel[2],
it's likely that we are using user namespaces,
therefore udev event notification via netlink won't work reliably.
Use their filesystem API to detect them and automatically fallback to
the inotify-based enumeration.
