This fixes rounding errors with coordinate scaling and gives more flexibility in the presentation, as well as making it easy to maintain device independent resolution as windows move between different pixel density displays.
By default when a renderer is created, it will match the window size so window coordinates and render coordinates are 1-1.
Mouse and touch events are no longer filtered to change their coordinates, instead you can call SDL_ConvertEventToRenderCoordinates() to explicitly map event coordinates into the rendering viewport.
SDL_RenderWindowToLogical() and SDL_RenderLogicalToWindow() have been renamed SDL_RenderCoordinatesFromWindow() and SDL_RenderCoordinatesToWindow() and take floating point coordinates in both directions.
The viewport, clipping state, and scale for render targets are now persistent and will remain set whenever they are active.
This simplifies the API and removes a level of API translation between the int variants of the functions and the float implementation

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
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.
