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.

Emscripten was using its own, private integer in order to allocate
new SDL_JoystickIDs. SDL keeps a similar integer for allocating
joystick-ids, one which is shared across multiple joystick backends.
SDL 2.0.13 introduces a new joystick-backend, a Virtual joystick
backend, which allows for software-driven joysticks, and which is
designed to sit alongside joystick-backends that provide access to
physical joysticks.
The Emscripten and the Virtual backends were, at times, getting
allocated the same SDL_JoystickIDs, if and when both backends were used
simultaneously. This could happen if, for example, an application
was using a virtual joystick in order to drive a touch-screen
based joystick, while also supporting physical joysticks through the
Emscripten backend.
When two joysticks end up with the same SDL_JoystickID, conflicts
can occur. For example, disconnecting a physical joystick with
the same SDL_JoystickID as a virtual one, can lead to the virtual
joystick being closed, inadvertently.
This fix makes the Emscripten backend use SDL's cross-joystick-backend
integer counter, which is shared among joystick backends, for allocating
new SDL_JoystickIDs, rather than a private, Emscripten-specific
counter.

This reverts commit e5a15f94e2.
It turns out removing this check allows mice like the ROG PUGIO II to show up as game controllers. We need to find a different way to differentiate between gaming mice and pedals.
Since these mice show up as controllers, and potentially causing games to use them instead of real controllers, we'll go ahead revert this change for now.
Reopens https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/8227
This ensures that we don't accidentally interpret an ID from one system as an ID in another system.
Audio device IDs are not covered here, since they have a unique numbering system.
HIDAPI joystick drivers may call HIDAPI_JoystickDisconnected() in their
UpdateDevice() function during HIDAPI_JoystickOpen(). If they do this
today, the opened joystick will end up partially initialized (no name,
path, mapping GUID, etc.) because HIDAPI_GetDeviceByIndex() will no
longer be able to find the SDL_HIDAPI_Device for the removed joystick.
Worse still, joystick->hwdata->device becomes a dangling freed pointer
the next time HIDAPI_UpdateDeviceList() is called. This leads to a UAF
when the application or SDL calls SDL_JoystickClose() on this joystick.
Fix all this by checking if the device no longer has any associated
joysticks after calling UpdateDevice() and failing the open call if so.
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
Logitech PRO Racing Wheel have two different versions - for Playstation and Xbox. Vendor + Product ID for Playstation version already present in SDL sources, but not an Xbox version
testcontroller expects to be able to call SDL_GetGamepadStringForButton() and find that name in the binding string
We can revisit this later if it becomes important to use new names in bindings. @smcv
The sequence order of the four paddles is not obvious, with SDL and Xbox
controllers swapping the order of P2 and P3 relative to each other.
If we group them into left and right, then it becomes more obvious.

The current status is stored in the SDL_rwops 'status' field to be able to determine whether a 0 return value is caused by end of file, an error, or a non-blocking source not being ready.
The functions to read sized datatypes now return SDL_bool so you can detect read errors.

I don't know of any specific issue with this, but third party PS4 controllers have had issues with reports that are specific to Sony hardware, so this is a speculative change to prevent issues with future controllers.
If it turns out that these reports are valid and useful for third party controllers, we can back this change out.
