This hint defaults on, enabling advanced controller features.
This replaces SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS4_RUMBLE and SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_PS5_RUMBLE, and is supported by PlayStation and Nintendo Switch controllers.

If you're not using SDL for video you won't get raw input messages without this hint, and this is tripping up enough people it makes sense to have this enabled by default. There isn't much downside to this, other than having another thread processing Xbox controller input.

Now (only in the generic backend, where it is implemented), this hint is
always respected. Previously it would only be used if no windows were created,
to help reduce CPU load on things like loopwave.
Since it's always used now, the default has changed from 60 (Hz) to 0 (run as
fast as possible). Things like loopwave should still likely force this way
lower than the previous default (and already do: loopwave explicitly sets it
to 5).
The hint can now also be set to "waitevent" which will cause SDL_AppIterate
to only be called after new events have arrived, for apps that are entirely
driven by input and want to consume (almost) no power or CPU time until then.

Fixes#11387.
SDL_HINT_QUIT_ON_LAST_WINDOW_CLOSE will not fire if there are active tray icons. This impacts only applications that create tray icons, and that at least one icon outlives the last visible top-level window. SDL_EVENT_QUIT will fire when the last active tray is destroyed if there are no active windows.
This can cause misunderstanding about how texture creation works, as seen in https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/9504. Instead let people check the error for more information on why creation may have failed.
