This removes the CM_Register_Notification code on WinRT. Note
that this API _is_ available to UWP apps as of Windows 10.0.17763
(version 1809, released October 2018), according to:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/win32-and-com/win32-apis#apis-from-api-ms-win-devices-config-l1-1-1dll
So it might be worth readding with some sort of preprocessor check
for minimum targeted version, or whatever is appropriate for WinRT
development.
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..
Added a hint to control whether a separate thread should be used for joystick events.
This is off by default because dispatching messages in other threads appears to cause problems on some versions of Windows.

TLDR; https://godbolt.org/z/43fd8G
Let's deduce this from C++ reference code:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cppcx/wrl/how-to-activate-and-use-a-windows-runtime-component-using-wrl?view=msvc-160
At the bottom of the page there is this snippet:
```
int wmain()
{
/* ... more code ... */
// Get the domain part of the URI.
HString domainName;
hr = uri->get_Domain(domainName.GetAddressOf());
if (FAILED(hr))
{
return PrintError(__LINE__, hr);
}
// Print the domain name and return.
wprintf_s(L"Domain name: %s\n", domainName.GetRawBuffer(nullptr));
// All smart pointers and RAII objects go out of scope here.
}
```
`HString` is defined in `corewrappers.h` and the call chain for the destructor is:
`~HString() -> Release() -> ::WindowsDeleteString()`
QED

Eliminate additional heap allocation for short-lived HSTRINGs.
Uses `WindowsCreateStringReference()` to disable reference counting and memory management by the Window Runtime.

Currently the rawinput driver always reports a device as "wired". This changes that to "unknown" and updates it once the device is correlated with xinput.
