support in-game input reconfiguration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the problem:

it would be nice if it was possible to open the configuration dialog of
blight's sdl input plugin when running a game. this way you dont have to
restart the game when you notice that you that you wrongly configured a key.

You can use F5 to save the current state and F7 to load it again. The m64p 2.0 
works
different to 1.5 and there is currently not something like a bligh's sdl input 
dialog

well i dont know how it looks with 2.0, but it would nice if m64pl would support
in-game input reconfiguration there. if this is already the case you can close 
this
issue.

Under the new architecture, adding this feature would require a new addition to 
the
API to command the input plugin to re-load its configuration information.  It 
would
also need to be thread-safe, because it would probably be called directly from 
the
front-end in a different thread than the running emulator.  IMHO it's not worth 
the
effort and complexity that it would add to the code.  If someone were to 
implement
this feature correctly in a clean way and submit a patch, I would probably 
accept it
but it's unlikely that anyone will put in the effort needed for this.
