This allows us to handle controllers that use the Xbox protocol but look like Nintendo Switch or Playstation controllers, like the Qanba Dragon Arcade Stick in PC mode
Enabling the RawInput backend causes SDL_XINPUT_Enabled() to return false.
That causes WGI and DInput backends to take ownership of XInput-compatible
controllers, because they think there's no XInput-specific backend enabled.
In WGI's case, it will actually race with RawInput to open the device. By
properly excluding XInput devices from WGI, we can ensure that the sets of
devices managed by WGI and RawInput don't intersect. This makes the race
harmless, since they'll never both go after the same device.
It is called from WGI before the normal joystick detection has been run, so it needs to actually enumerate currently connected devices.
We can skip the logic checking for other drivers also supporting this device, because that logic is duplicated from the call site.
- Do not call IDirectInputDevice8_QueryInterface(device, &IID_IDirectInputDevice8,...) on DIRECTINPUTDEVICE8 device
- Get joystick VendorID and ProductID via IDirectInputDevice8_GetProperty(.., DIPROP_VIDPID, ..) call instead of messing with DIDEVICEINSTANCE.guidProduct
- Normalize HID device interface path to upper case for stable operation of XInput check
- Remove useless RawInput calls in SDL_IsXInputDevice() - just check for "IG_" string in HID device interface path that we already have
There shouldn't be any observable behavior changes.
i.e. where the string is known guaranteed to be WCHAR*, in:
- SDL_dinputjoystick.c (WIN_IsXInputDevice): VARIANT->var is BSTR (WCHAR*)
- SDL_rawinputjoystick.c (RAWINPUT_AddDevice): string is WCHAR*
- SDL_windows_gaming_input.c (IEventHandler_CRawGameControllerVtbl_InvokeAdded):
string is WCHAR*
There should be more of these..

When directinput fails to load, but a controlller is plugged in, an access violation happens.
This is due to IEventHandler_CRawGameControllerVtbl_InvokeAdded calling SDL_DINPUT_JoystickPresent which does not check if dinput is assigned signalling initialization of directinput.

Add new RawInput controller API, and improved correlation with XInput/WGI
Reorder joystick init so drivers can ask the others if they handle a device reliably
Do not poll disconnected XInput devices (major perf issue)
Fix various cases where incorrect correlation could happen
Simple mechanism for propagating unhandled Guide button presses even before guaranteed correlation
Correlate by axis motion as well as button presses
Fix failing to zero other trigger
Fix SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI not working if set before calling SDL_Init()
Add missing device to device names
Disable RawInput if we have a mismatch of XInput-capable but not RawInput-capable devices
Updated to SDL 2.0.13 code with the following notes:
New HID driver: xbox360w - no idea what that is, hopefully urelated
SDL_hidapijoystick.c had been refactored to couple data handling logic with device opening logic and device lists caused some problems, yields slightly uglier integration than previously when the 360 HID device driver was just handling the data.
SDL_hidapijoystick.c now often pulls the device off of the joystick_hwdata structure for some rumble logic, but it appears that code path is never reached, so probably not a problem.
Looks like joystick_hwdata was refactored to not include a mutex in other drivers, maintainers may want to do the same refactor here if that's useful for some reason.
Something changed in how devices get names, so getting generic names.
Had to fix a (new?) bug where removing an XInput controller caused existing controllers (that moved to a new XInput index) to get identified as 0x045e/0x02fd ("it's probably Bluetooth" in code), rendering the existing HIDAPI_IsDevicePresent and new RAWINPUT_IsDevicePresent unreliable.
