Wacom tablets require filtering from gamepad devices on desktop platforms #8428

Description

Filing issue per Russel's request for LTS2025

Wacom tablets show up as joysticks, which interferes with normal gamepad behaviour. All Wacom devices should be blocked from regisering as gamepads, identifiable by the Vendor ID 0x0531.

If a gamepad GUID begins with 030000003105... or 050000003105..., the gamepad index should behave as if none is connected, so:

  1. The Async - System gamepad discovery event should not be registered
  2. The Async - System DS map async_load should not push "gamepad discovered" or "pad_index" to async_load
  3. The index should return false from gamepad_is_connected()
  4. The index should return "none" from gamepad_get_guid()
  5. The index should return "" from gamepad_get_description()

If anyone assigned to this lacks a device to test, I suggest testing another device on hand (eg. PlayStation controller) to confirm the implemented blocking method works. Upon follow up I am glad to confirm a working solution locally with a relevant device.
