Removing SDL_GAMEPAD_TYPE_VIRTUAL allows a virtual controller to emulate another gamepad type. The other controller types can be treated as generic controllers by applications without special glyph or functionality treatment.
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)
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6932
`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.
