SFC30 controller: http://www.8bitdo.com/sfc30/
The SFC30 controller can present itself in a variety of modes and it offers up
different names in each. This patch captures data for three modes (one USB and
two Bluetooth) on three platforms (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
However, USB mode on Linux and Windows is missing as the button events did not
make it through to SDL's controllermap tool on Fedora 24/Linux 4.5.5 nor Steam
Big Picture mode on Windows. The two Bluetooth modes were indistinguishable on
Windows. Two modes on OS X were indistinguishable.
There exists a similar controller called the SNES30 (And some others) that are
very likely identical except for the name, but I have not verified this yet so
haven't synthesized lines for those controllers until I can.
The Apple TV remote is currently exposed as a joystick with its touch surface treated as two axes. Key presses are also generated when its buttons and touch surface are used.
A new hint has been added to help deal with deciding whether to background the app when the remote's menu button is pressed: SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS.

bugfix for controller / joystick add / remove being in the event queue at the same time
The Windows 10 Anniversary Update (1607) breaks the method uses that SDL uses to
detect XInput devices. That is, on Windows 10 Anniversary Update, it is no longer
possible to query RAWINPUT for HID devices, and check for "IG_" in the device name.
Presumably, this will be fixed in the future.
This patch works around the issue by adding the Xbox One controller series to the
well-known device list.
This skips the more expensive RAWINPUT check for those devices, and causes them to
be detected as XInput devices once again.
This allows us to set an explicit stack size (overriding the system default
and the global hint an app might have set), and remove all the macro salsa
for dealing with _beginthreadex and such, as internal threads always set those
to NULL anyhow.
I've taken some guesses on reasonable (and tiny!) stack sizes for our
internal threads, but some of these might turn out to be too small in
practice and need an increase. Most of them are simple functions, though.
The returned value is currently not used by the caller. The instance id would
also not be needed on Java side and providing it just complicated the function.
Partially fixes Bugzilla #3234.
I don't know if any joysticks report those usages for any buttons in practice, but other prominent Mac gaming software exposes them, so we might as well too.
This change has also been tested as buildable + runnable on Win32 + MSVC 2015,
2013, 2012, and 2010. It may fix similar build errors (in XInput code) that
are appearing in MingW builds (on buildbot).
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
