This makes the links explicitly vertically centered in the DolphinWX
About dialog. It is not needed on Windows, because the links have the
same height as text (and look just like text links). However, this is
required on other platforms or the links would look misaligned.
POSIX specifies that inet_ntoa() is declared in arpa/inet.h, and that
POLLRDNORM, etc. are defined in poll.h.
gethostbyname() is not specified by POSIX, but the manpages in OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, OS X, and glibc all state that it is declared in netdb.h.
Without these headers, the build fails on OpenBSD and possibly other
systems.
Most modern Unix environments use 64-bit off_t by default: OpenBSD,
FreeBSD, OS X, and Linux libc implementations such as Musl.
glibc is the lone exception; it can default to 32 bits but this is
configurable by setting _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
Avoiding the stat64()/fstat64() interfaces is desirable because they
are nonstandard and not implemented on many systems (including
OpenBSD and FreeBSD), and using 64 bits for stat()/fstat() is either
the default or trivial to set up.
The old implementation always polled the local 1st Wiimote and used that as input for the Wiimote that is mapped to the player. But the reporting mode for Wiimotes can be different, even when using the same extensions. So an input for Wiimote 1 with a data size 4 could be used for Wiimote 2, which actually requires data size 7 at that time for example.
The 2nd problem was that the code added a dummy input into the buffer, when the reporting mode changed. But when the data from the other player hasn't arrived yet, the data in the buffer is out of order. Well, i think this is the problem, i'm not 100% sure, because i don't fully understand how the buffer works. But on the other hand, i'm pretty sure this will just force sync the players on reporting mode changes, instead of allowing them to be apart.
Pros:
- No more desyncs caused by big bugs in the code.
- Can use different extensions for different players.
Cons:
- Higher latency, because instead of polling 1 controller per player at once, all controllers are polled in order, send to the other players, before the next is processed.
- Have to setup the Wiimote, which the player is going to use, instead of the 1st one.
Now, if the controller config could temporarily be overridden with the one from another slot, the 2nd problem could be fixed. But at the same time, we would lose the ability to use different extensions. (unless we hack around it somehow, or properly send the used extension to the other players)
Specifically, don't make any assumptions about what effective addresses
are used for code, and correctly handle changes to MSR.DR/MSR.IR.

This makes the device ID assigning code common to all backends, by
moving it to AddDevice() instead of copy-pasting or replicating
the logic in the backends.
Also, to prepare for hotplugging, instead of relying on a name usage
count, the new ID assigning system always starts from ID 0 and tries
to assign the first ID that is not used.
