The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

Abstracts most of the input mechanisms under an InputSubsystem class
that is managed by the frontends, eliminating any static constructors
and destructors. This gets rid of global accessor functions and also
allows the frontends to have a more fine-grained control over the
lifecycle of the input subsystem.
This also makes it explicit which interfaces rely on the input subsystem
instead of making it opaque in the interface functions. All that remains
to migrate over is the factories, which can be done in a separate
change.
Changes the interface as well to remove any unique methods that
frontends needed to call such as StartJoystickEventHandler by
conditionally starting the polling thread only if the frontend hasn't
started it already. Additionally, moves all global state into a single
SDLState class in order to guarantee that the destructors are called in
the proper order
* Joystick hotplug support (#4141)
* use SDL_PollEvent instead of SDL_JoystickUpdate
Register hot plugged controller by GUID if they were configured in a previous session
* Move SDL_PollEvent into its own thread
* Don't store SDLJoystick pointer in Input Device; Get pointer on each GetStatus call
* Fix that joystick_list gets cleared after SDL_Quit
* Add VirtualJoystick for InputDevices thats never nullptr
* fixup! Add VirtualJoystick for InputDevices thats never nullptr
* fixup! fixup! Add VirtualJoystick for InputDevices thats never nullptr
