Joysticks have been subtly and not so subtly broken for years. If we want to have a joystick feature at all, it should work well.

SDL has established a standard for joystick interpretation, and other libraries have sought to emulate it. It makes sense to do the same. If the SDL API appears to be deficient, at least our API should be a strict improvement over it.

Tasks:

  • Investigate the SDL/GLFW APIs for joysticks, see if it makes sense to map to Allegro's.
  • Adjust the code for all 3 major platforms to start. Use the joystick_version compatibility switch to maintain compatibility with the older code.

Here's the 3 core features to fix/implement:

Add "gamepad" support.
b09fe80 
A gamepad has a stereotyped arrangement of buttons and sticks/axes that
remains consistent across platforms. Hardware differences are handled by
parsing SDL's community-sourced database.

Do a pass on joystick hotplugging.
e549f3f 
- MacOS wasn't reusing joystick slots
- Linux was getting duplicate joysticks due to reading from
  /dev/input/by-path
- Windows XInput wasn't re-initializing joystick names
- SDL was completely broken

Also, I redid ex_joystick_hotplugging to be more useful/exciting.
