Also updates the naming of these Xbox Wireless Controllers connected via USB (and thus the third-party Xbox Controller Driver) to match.
The Xbox Wireless Controller entries are now listed, in order, via USB, bia Bluetooh (with older firmware) and via Bluetooth (with firmware 3.1.1221.0).
Firmware revision 3.1.1221.0 changes the mapping of the Xbox One S
controller in Bluetooth mode. Aside from changing the layout of
other buttons, this revision also changes the triggers to act as
Accelerator and Brake axes from the simulation controls page.
The Darwin sysjoystick code didn't previously map anything at these
axes, making it impossible to detect input on these two buttons.

The logic which decides if a device enumerated via the direct input system in the function EnumJoysticksCallback in SDL_dinputjoystick.c is processed is discarding valid joystick devices due to the assumption that devices of the type DI8DEVTYPE_SUPPLEMENTAL are not valid devices.
This change was added with 2.0.4 with this commit http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/1b9d40126645 that is linked to this bug report https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2460 which indicates that in that case devices of the type DI8DEVTYPE_SUPPLEMENTAL were not desirable as they caused a singular device to emit multiple "device added" events.
Since then there appear to have been a few fixes to handle devices that fall into various other classes in the following two commits:
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/10ffb4787d7a and http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/6a2bbac05728
Two devices I have reports of failing to be listed when the DI8DEVTYPE_SUPPLEMENTAL type is excluded are ECS Gametric Throttle and Thrustmaster MFD Cougar.

I verified that the OUYA controller shows up as a single device with this change, so I've reverted the change to ignore supplemental devices, leaving framework in place to easily add devices that we want to ignore.
Fixed a case where partial trigger pull could be bound to another button
There is a fundamental problem not resolved by this commit:
Some controllers have axes (triggers, pedals, etc.) that don't start at zero, but we're guaranteed that if we get a value that it's correct. For these controllers, the current code works, where we take the first value we get and use that as the zero point and generate axis motion starting from that point on.
Other controllers have digital axes (D-pad) that assume a zero starting point, and the first value we get is the min or max axis value when the D-pad is moved. For these controllers, the current code thinks that the zero point is the axis value after the D-pad motion and this doesn't work.
My hypothesis is that the first class of devices is more common and that we should solve for that, and add an exception to SDL_JoystickAxesCenteredAtZero() as needed for the second class of devices.

Compiling even a simple SDL2 'hello world' program with gcc -Wstrict-prototypes (GCC 6.2.1) results in warnings like:
/usr/include/SDL2/SDL_gamecontroller.h:143:1: attention : function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
extern DECLSPEC int SDLCALL SDL_GameControllerNumMappings();
^~~~~~
It seems there is a missing 'void' between the parentheses.
These fixes are lumped into two categories:
1. add new file, SDL_dataqueue.c, to UWP/WinRT build-inputs (via MSVC project
files)
2. implement a temporary, hack-fix for a build error in SDL_xinputjoystick.c.
Win32's Raw Input APIs are, unfortunately, not available for use in UWP/WinRT
APIs. There does appear to be a replacement API, available in the
Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice namespace.
This fix should be sufficient to get SDL compiling again, without affecting
Win32 builds, however using the UWP/WinRT API (in UWP/WinRT builds) would
almost certainly be better (for UWP/WinRT builds).
TODO: research Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevice, and use that if and as
appropriate.

It is a bit of a pain to update the library or rely on whatever version the user has on their computer for default mappings.
So providing an easily updatable text file via SDL_GameControllerAddMappingsFromFile is still currently the most viable way. However using this replaces all mappings provided by the SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG environment variable which may have come from the user's custom Steam mapping.
There should be an easy way for games to supply extra game controller mappings to fill in the differences between SDL versions without it clobbering the SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG environment variable.
Internally the mappings could use a priority system and if the priority is lower then it will not overwrite the mappings.
For now it just assumes SDL_HINT_GAMECONTROLLERCONFIG is the highest priority, the default hardcoded are the lowest and anything set via the API is medium.

Unfortunately, simply checking the return codes of "onNativePadDown/Up" as previously done has its own issue:
If an SDL joystick is connected *and* opened, then a proper KeyEvent, say with keycode KEYCODE_BUTTON_1, should lead to an SDL joystick button event as expected.
If, however, the joystick was *not* opened, then "onNativePadDown/Up" will return a negative value, so before the commit from bug 3426, you could unexpectedly get a keyboard event. (In practice, you'll just get a log message, since KEYCODE_BUTTON_1 has no mapping to a proper SDL_ScanCode value, but it's still an problem).
What should still be done, though, is checking the key code itself. We do have the KeyEvent.isGamepadButton method, but according my test, it returns "true" exactly (and only) for the KEYCODE_BUTTON* values, and not for KEYCODE_DPAD* or any other key code.
Here is a possible solution:
- Do check the return codes of "onNativePadDown/Up" as previously done.
- In addition, in "Android_OnPadDown/Up" from src/joystick/android/SDL_sysjoystick.c, 0 should *always* be returned in case the key code can be translated to an SDL_joystick button; Even if no matching joystick can be found.

Not sure if this is limited to the joystick subsystem,
but I created a minimal program for reproducibility,
which is attached.
The issue occurs with my gamepad Razer Onza (an xbox-style gamepad) plugged in.
On initialization, the gamepad is being recognized.
After quitting the subsystem, the poll will receive the joystick added event,
which it instantly handles itself, calling SDL_SYS_JoystickDetect again,
which this time calls IDirectInput8_EnumDevices with dinput = NULL (after it was released on quit).
This seems to lead to an access violation within said function, which I have no source for.
