X11 has a so-called primary selection, which you can use by marking text and middle-clicking elsewhere to copy the marked text.
There are 3 new API functions in `SDL_clipboard.h`, which work exactly like their clipboard equivalents.
## Test Instructions
* Run the tests (just a copy of the clipboard tests): `$ ./test/testautomation --filter Clipboard`
* Build and run this small application:

```C
#include <SDL.h>
#include <unistd.h>

{
const char *errstr = SDL_GetError();
if (errstr == NULL || errstr[0] == '\0')
return;
fprintf(stderr, "SDL Error after '%s': %s\n", where, errstr);
SDL_ClearError();
}

SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 400, 400, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);
print_error("SDL_CreateWindow()");

break;
} default: {

}}
}
// create less noise with WAYLAND_DEBUG=1
if (do_render == 0) {
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
print_error("SDL_RenderPresent()");
}
do_render += 1;
usleep(12000);
}
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
print_error("quit");
return 0;
}
```

* Use c,v,d,f to get and set the clipboard and primary selection.
* Mark text and middle-click also in other applications.
* For wayland under x:
* `$ mutter --wayland --no-x11 --nested`
* `$ XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./<path_to_test_appl_binary>`
This makes the joystick locking more robust by holding the lock while updating joysticks.
The lock should be held when calling any SDL joystick function on a different thread than the one calling SDL_PumpEvents() and SDL_JoystickUpdate().
It is now possible to hold the lock while reinitializing the joystick subsystem, however any open joysticks will become invalid and potentially cause crashes if used afterwards.

This is now used as a crc field in the mapping rather than directly in mapping guids, for better mapping compatibility between versions of SDL.
Added SDL_GetJoystickGUIDInfo() to get device information encoded in a joystick GUID, so that mapping programs can clear the CRC from the GUID when generating mappings.
sort_controllers.py has been updated to extract the CRC from mappings created by older mapping programs and convert it into the new crc field. It will also take the CRC into account when checking for duplicate mappings.
Also regenerated the GUIDs for the PS2/PSP/Vita controller mappings, fixing https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6151
- This allows looking up the display index for an arbitrary location rather than requiring an active window to do so.
- This change also reimplements the fallback display lookup that found the display with center closest to the window's center to instead find the display rect edge
closest to the window center (this was done in the almost identical display lookup used in SDL_windowsmodes.c, which now uses `SDL_GetPointDisplayIndex`). In
practice this should almost never be hit as it requires the window's center to not be enclosed by any display rect.
