"Deadzone" settings do nothing; "Axis pole size" is effective, but "deadzone" needed too

Currently Pad Tie uses a percentage known as the Axis Pole Size to determine if 
an axis is being pressed. Pad Tie also manages a "Deadzone" setting, but that 
setting is not used.

The two numbers are similar, but having both provides some added usefulness. 
Essentially, the deadzone should be applied at the device level and should zero 
the axis if the value is within the deadzone limits. The axis pole size is 
applied at the virtual device level to determine if the pole is being pressed 
or not.

Differentiating between the two features allows us to cause the reported press 
intensity to be higher at the lowest value that activates the pole. This means 
you can start walking at 50% speed when you just barely register the press on 
the gamepad, though this should obviously not be the default behavior.
