These are integer values internally, but the API has been changed to make it easier to mix other render code with querying those values.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7519
The flags parameter has been removed from SDL_CreateRenderer() and SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC has been replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_CREATE_PRESENT_VSYNC_NUMBER during window creation and SDL_PROP_RENDERER_VSYNC_NUMBER after renderer creation.
SDL_SetRenderVSync() now takes additional values besides 0 and 1.
The maximum texture size has been removed from SDL_RendererInfo, replaced with SDL_PROP_RENDERER_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE_NUMBER.
The shorthand version of this function didn't allow specifying a controller name, which seems pretty important. It seems like anyone actually implementing a virtual joystick is going to want to use some of the extended functionality.
If we need to extend this in the future, we'll make a second struct and
a second SDL_AttachVirtualJoystickEx-style function that uses it.
Just zero the struct and don't set a version.
Fixes#9489.
Added support for getting the real controller info, as well as the function SDL_GetGamepadSteamHandle() to get the Steam Input API handle, from the virtual gamepads provided by Steam.
Also added an event SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_STEAM_HANDLE_UPDATED which is triggered when a controller's API handle changes, e.g. the controllers were reassigned slots in the Steam UI.
The included ones need to wait until SDL_Init has run, or you'll get an empty
list, and we might also be adding more from an external gamecontrollerdb.txt
file, too.
* Moving forward and backward don't clear the current binding
* Use the tertiary face button to delete the current binding
* More small improvements to make navigation more intuitive
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.

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 gamepad vs joystick events always happen in this order:
SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_ADDED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_ADDED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMAPPED
SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMOVED
SDL_EVENT_JOYSTICK_REMOVED
Whenever a mapping is changed, any controller affected by that mapping will generate a gamepad event. You will only get one SDL_EVENT_GAMEPAD_REMAPPED event per controller per batch of mapping changes, where SDL_AddGamepadMappingsFromFile() and SDL_AddGamepadMapping() are each a batch of changes.
