Fixes bug: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12744
Before e1e3db13ba
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489

This helps us keeping the most important devices (e.g. Mouse and Keyboard) on the top
of the list of devices (they still are on all OSes supported by dolphin
and to make hotplug devices like DSU appear at the bottom.
-Fix Add/Remove/Refresh device safety, devices could be added and removed at the same time, causing missing or duplicated devices (rare but possible)
-Fix other devices population race conditions in ControllerInterface
-Avoid re-creating all devices when dolphin is being shut down
-Avoid re-creating devices when the render window handle has changed (just the relevantr ones now)
-Avoid sending Devices Changed events if devices haven't actually changed
-Made most devices populations will be made async, to increase performance and avoid hanging the host or CPU thread on manual devices refresh
A "devices changed" callback could have ended up waiting on another thread that was also populating devices
and waiting on the previous thread to release the callbacks mutex.
-Reworked thread waits to never hang the Host thread for more than a really small time
(e.g. when disabling DSU its thread now closes almost immediately)
-Improve robustness when a large amount of devices are connected
-Add devices disconnection detection (they'd stay there forever until manually refreshed)
Add ! before unused variables to 'use' them.
Ubuntu-x64 emits warnings for unused variables because gcc decides
it should ignore the void cast around them. See thread for discussion:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66425
DualShock UDP Client is the only place in the code that assumed OnConfigChanged()
is called at least once on startup or it won't load up the setting, so I took care of that
-If adding 2 devices with the same name, they their unique id wouldn't be increased, causing a conflict.
-Removing a device wouldn't actually remove it from the internal devices list because the list of devices had already been updated when going through it.
-It was possible to remove devices belonging to other sources by adding a device with the same name and then removing it.
Make sure m_is_populating_devices is true when a WM_INPUT_DEVICE_CHANGE
event is received directly on the ciface thread, so that callbacks do
not occur while removing devices. This breaks a hold-and-wait deadlock
between the ciface thread and the CPU thread when using emulated
Wiimotes.

This function does *not* always convert from UTF-16. It converts
from UTF-16 on Windows and UTF-32 on other operating systems.
Also renaming UTF8ToUTF16 for consistency, even though it
technically doesn't have the same problem since it only was
implemented on Windows.
Currently, the touch controller overlay uses a square gate for
sticks. This commit changes that so that it instead uses the
stick gate configured in the INI, which ensures that the values
sent to the core are appropriately scaled regardless of what
is configured in the INI and makes the overlay look nicer
if the INI is set to a stick gate that matches the graphics.
This works around Linux drivers for DS4 (Playstation 4) controllers splitting the device into three separate event nodes which makes configuration difficult.
To prevent collisions of input names in combined devices more descriptive names are now used when possible.
Was checking over this old code, and saw a comment calling me out for a lack of documentation.
It might be half a decade late, but better late then never.
