Add Gamepad support.

Seems to have sticks / buttons, but not D-pad/arrow support.

See: http://www.freebsddiary.org/APC/usb_hid_usages.php for D-pad support.

Semantics: Figure out a good way to do bitfields for buttons.

Testing: Do more...

Windows may need to use a re-mapper or install a driver (Remapper: https://github.com/x360ce/x360ce)

iOS only does MFi approved, Xbox, and Playstation. Is a "good enough" HID descriptor enough or does it do other things to authenticate the controller? (Well, it truly authenticates the MFi ones.)

Apple's support page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210414 XBox descriptor: https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/DS4-USB (Multiple report IDs)

I'm marking this "kinda done". It works for some games (not on iOS). May have to revisit the full XBox controller behavior at some point.
