A negative periodic magnitude doesn't exist in Windows' and MacOS' FF APIs
The periodic magnitude parameter of the SDL Haptic API is based on the Linux
FF API, so it means they are not directly compatible:
'dwMagnitude' is a 'DWORD', which is unsigned.
Fixes Bugzilla #2701.
This modifies SDL_PauseAudio behavior to pause all audio devices instead of
just the default one (required on Android, at least for testmultiaudio on my
Nexus 4 which reported 2 audio devices).
It also changes SDL_PauseAudioDevice to retain the device lock from pause until
resume in order to save battery in mobile devices.

I attached a patch for an incomplete implementation of the messagebox parts.
It was not tested on lots of devices yet and features a very fragile workaround to block the calling SDL thread while the dialog is handled on Android's UI thread. Although it works for testmessage.c I assume there are lot of situations were it may fail (standby, device rotation and other changes). Also not all flags and colors are implemented.
On the other hand most uses of the messagebox are to show an error on start and fragility (or working at all) may not matter there.
since the window system doesn't do it for us like other platforms.
This prevents sticky keys and missed keys when going in and out
of focus, for example Alt would appear to stick if switching away
from an SDL app with Alt-Tab and had to be pressed again.

This helps when modern versions of The Gimp (and lots of other things)
produces a 32-bit bitmap with an alpha channel, or anything with "BI_BITFIELDS"
format, since that data is now embedded in the bitmap info header instead of
directly following it and we would accidentally skip over embedded versions of
it.
Fixes Bugzilla #2714.

SDL's Cocoa backend uses the CGDisplayMode API to get refresh rate information about a display mode, but CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate will return 0 on most non-CRT monitors.
The only way I know of to get correct refresh rate information in OS X is via the CoreVideo DisplayLink API.
I have attached a patch which tries to use the CVDisplayLinkGetNominalOutputVideoRefreshPeriod function if CGDisplayModeGetRefreshRate fails, which fixes display mode refresh rate information on the monitors I tested.
The CVDisplayLink API requires linking with the CoreVideo framework, and the patch updates the various build files to do so.
