This is just stuff I noticed while working on the wikiheaders updates. A
thorough pass over all the docs would not be terrible, and maybe a simple
script to check for consistency (does everything have a `\since` on it? etc)
might be nice, too.
This gives applications and binding systems a clearer view of what the hardware is so they can make intelligent decisions about how to present things to the user.
Gamepad mappings continue to use abxy for the face buttons for simplicity and compatibility with earlier versions of SDL, however the "SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS" hint no longer has any effect.

The following objects now have properties that can be user modified:
* SDL_AudioStream
* SDL_Gamepad
* SDL_Joystick
* SDL_RWops
* SDL_Renderer
* SDL_Sensor
* SDL_Surface
* SDL_Texture
* SDL_Window
This takes care of the last set of void functions that could
potentially be shifted to instead return an int indicating success and
setting an error in case of an error.
Also cleaned up logic for whether we need to poll for events:
- We need to periodically poll for joysticks to handle hotplug.
- We need to frequently poll for joysticks and sensors when they're open so their state can be updated
Feedback from @icculus:
"IsTablet" uses "is" as a form of "to be" ...like, the actual question is of its nature.
The rest is just a superfluous word in the question and it flows as better English with if (RectEmpty) than if (IsRectEmpty)

`SDL_QUERY`, `SDL_IGNORE`, `SDL_ENABLE`, and `SDL_DISABLE` have been removed.
SDL_EventState() has been replaced with SDL_SetEventEnabled()
SDL_GetEventState() has been replaced with SDL_EventEnabled()
SDL_GameControllerEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetGamepadEventsEnabled() and SDL_GamepadEventsEnabled()
SDL_JoystickEventState has been replaced with SDL_SetJoystickEventsEnabled() and SDL_JoystickEventsEnabled()
SDL_ShowCursor() has been split into three functions: SDL_ShowCursor(), SDL_HideCursor(), and SDL_CursorVisible()
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6929
Instead of indexing into an internal list of devices which requires locking, we return a list of device IDs which can then be queried individually.
Reference: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6889
The annotations have been added to SDL_mutex.h and have been made public so applications can enable this for their own code.
Clang assumes that locking and unlocking can't fail, but SDL has the concept of a NULL mutex, so the mutex functions have been changed not to report errors if a mutex hasn't been initialized. We do have mutexes that might be accessed when they are NULL, notably in the event system, so this is an important change.
This commit cleans up a bunch of rare race conditions in the joystick and game controller code so now everything should be completely protected by the joystick lock.
To test this, change the compiler to "clang -Wthread-safety -Werror=thread-safety -DSDL_THREAD_SAFETY_ANALYSIS"
