SDL3 preparation (event_sdl.c). #420

AliceLR · 2024-01-21T09:37:38Z

Most references to "gamecontrollers" in code and config settings are now "gamepad", which is half the length, less annoying to type and look at, and also matches SDL3's current renaming of their API. The old "gamecontroller" config settings still work, but config.txt now only contains references to "gamepad".
The SDL event unicode fallback behavior now only triggers when text events are disabled in SDL2+. This should allow text input events if the onscreen keyboard is active in the Android port, but still allow the unicode fallback to work when it's hidden. Text input is now disabled whenever a platform supports an onscreen keyboard instead of being excluded by Android specifically.
SDL joystick GUIDs are now derived from the SDL_Joystick * rather than the SDL device index. The SDL device index is now only used for initializing the SDL_Joystick and SDL_Gamepad and getting the mapping string, which should make it easier to support SDL2 and SDL3 at the same time.
