This gets rid of a blocking operation, improving performance and fixing
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12893.
This also makes us no longer directly access the state of certain UI
elements from the CPU thread, which probably wasn't thread-safe but
doesn't seem to have caused any observable issues so far.
This generated a warning on GCC about the operation being potentially undefined (-Wsequence-point). I'm not sure if that was actually the case, but either way it is a mistake.
We should expose Enable Controller Input and the turbo settings for
GBA just like we do for GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes.
I just forgot about it when implementing the GBA TAS input window.
When emulated GBAs were added to Dolphin, it was possible to control them
using the GC TAS input window. (Z was mapped to Select.) Unaware of this,
I broke the functionality in b296248.
To make it possible to control emulated GBAs using TAS input again,
I'm adding a proper TAS input window for GBAs, with a real Select button
and no analog controls.
This lets the TAS input code use a higher-level interface for
overriding inputs instead of having to fiddle with raw bits.
WiiTASInputWindow in particular was messy with how much
controller code it had to re-implement.
Previously, it was not clear where the boundary of the StickWidget was when interacting outside of the circle. This aims to restore the gray square present in the Wx-era.

As a side effect of 9c5c3c0, Dolphin's frame counter was changed
to run at 60/50 Hz even if the game is running at a lower framerate
such as 30 fps. Since the TAS input turbo button functionality
toggled the state of a button every other frame as reported by
the frame counter, this change made the turbo button functionality
not work with 30/25 fps games.
I believe it would be hard to change the frame counter back to
how it used to work without undermining the point of 9c5c3c0,
and I'm not sure if doing so would be desireable or not anyway,
so what I'm doing instead is letting the user determine how long
turbo button presses should last. This lets users avoid the 30/25
fps game problem while also granting additional flexibility.
Perhaps there is some game where it is useful to mash at a speed
which is slower than frame perfect.
When disabled only inputs from TAS dialog are used.
When enabled inputs from TAS dialog are used, except when a change in
input is detected from a real controller, in this case the TAS value is
replaced with the real controller value.
