Some people might wonder where the ability to select an extension
and the Sideways Wii Remote went. This button will take them to the
general settings, which is where those settings now live.
At some point in the future, we should probably move everything to the
general settings. But this pull request is already big enough as it is!
Up until now, there have been two settings on Android that stored the
selected Wii Remote extension: the normal one that's also used on PC,
and a SharedPreferences one that's used by the overlay controls to
determine what controls to show. It is possible for these two to end up
out of sync, and my input changes have made that more likely to happen.
To fix this, let's rework how the overlay controller setting works.
We don't want it to encode the currently selected Wii Remote extension.
However, we can't simply get rid of the setting, because for some Wii
games we need the ability to switch between a GameCube controller and a
Wii Remote. What this commit does is give the user the option to select
any of the 4 GameCube controllers and any of the 4 Wii Remotes. (Before,
controllers 2-4 weren't available in the overlay.) Could be useful for
things like the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. I'm also
switching from SharedPreferences to Dolphin.ini while I'm at it.
It's missing a lot of features from the PC version for now, like
buttons for inserting functions and the ability to see what the
expression evaluates to. I mostly just wanted to get something in
place so you can set up rumble.

This is a battery-saving measure. Whether a sensor should be suspended
is determined in the same way as whether key events and motion events
should be handled by the OS rather than consumed by Dolphin.
Android doesn't let us poll inputs whenever we want. Instead, we
listen to input events (activities will have to forward them to the
input backend), and store the received values in atomic variables
in the Input classes. This is similar in concept to how ButtonManager
worked, but without its homegrown second input mapping system.
ButtonManager is very different from how a normal input backend works,
and is making it hard for us to improve controller support on Android.
The following commits will add a new input backend in its place.
