Removed duplicate hints SDL_HINT_APP_NAME, SDL_HINT_APP_ID, and
SDL_HINT_AUDIO_DEVICE_APP_NAME.
Wired up a few things to use the metadata; more to come!

It was intended to make the API easier to use, but various automatic garbage collection all had flaws, and making the application periodically clean up temporary memory added cognitive load to using the API, and in many cases was it was difficult to restructure threaded code to handle this.
So, we're largely going back to the original system, where the API returns allocated results and you free them.
In addition, to solve the problems we originally wanted temporary memory for:
* Short strings with a finite count, like device names, get stored in a per-thread string pool.
* Events continue to use temporary memory internally, which is cleaned up on the next event processing cycle.
Move the Wayland pointer warp emulation code up to the SDL mouse layer, and activate it when a client attempts to warp a hidden mouse cursor when the hint is set.
testrelative adds the ability to test the warp emulation activation/deactivation with the --warp parameter and 'c' key for toggling cursor visibility.
This change also decouples the pause/resume handling from the video subsystem on Android, so applications that don't use SDL for video can get application life cycle events.
The semantics for the life cycle events are that they need to be handled in an event watch callback, and once they've been delivered, the application will block until it's been resumed. SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE can be used to control that behavior, and if that's set to "0", then the application will continue to run in the background at low CPU usage until being resumed or stopped.
SDL_HINT_ANDROID_BLOCK_ON_PAUSE_PAUSEAUDIO has been removed, and the audio will be paused when the application is paused.

This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
This extends the display scaling mode to be global and work in terms of pixels everywhere, with the content scale value set on displays. The per-window property had some issues, and has been removed in favor of retaining only the global hint that changes all coordinates to pixel values, sets the content scale on the displays, and generally makes the Wayland backend behave similarly to Win32 or X11.
Some additional work was needed to fix cases where displays can appear to overlap, since Wayland desktops are always described in logical coordinates, and attempting to adjust the display positions so that they don't overlap can get very ugly in all but the simplest cases, as large gaps between displays can result.
