The goal of this commit is to let people who experience driver issues
with libusb and windows disable the scanning thread (to avoid mouse
issues, keyboard issues, and audio issues).
Also disable the rumble setting when the adapter driver is not detected,
and don’t do anything if libusb can’t init for some reason.
Static strings can not be translated until wxLocale is initialised.
This reverts commit 0004b6004b.

This scanning thread either polls libusb or checks every 500ms for a
change depending on host capabilities. The GC Adapter can now be plugged
and unplugged at any time when dolphin is open, it will be used if the
direct connect option is set.
The libusb driver must be installed on the adapter (e.g. zadig can be used to install the driver in Windows). GameCube pad controllers are supported and will override the current input device assigned to the port. GameCube controller buttons are auto-configured and cannot be re-assigned. Rumble is supported. Hotplug is supported while playing a game. If a controller is unplugged from the adapter, Dolphin will fallback to using the host input device on that port. If a port on the adapter is unused, Dolphin will use the host input device for that port, allowing a mixture of host input devices and controllers connected to the adapter.
The adapter support can be disabled in the Controllers config if the OS driver is preferred (allowing the pad buttons to be reconfigured).
One adapter per system is supported.
