Disabling RAWINPUT on Windows 10 causes these issues:
* All Xbox controllers are named "XInput Controller".
* Trigger rumble no longer works.
* "XInput Controllers" are now also listed as separate haptic devices
It's only needed to support more than 4 Xbox controllers, and adds significant complexity to the joystick processing, and we regularly get bugs from people who aren't using an SDL window who need to turn on SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_THREAD.
This makes the joystick locking more robust by holding the lock while updating joysticks.
The lock should be held when calling any SDL joystick function on a different thread than the one calling SDL_PumpEvents() and SDL_JoystickUpdate().
It is now possible to hold the lock while reinitializing the joystick subsystem, however any open joysticks will become invalid and potentially cause crashes if used afterwards.

This will make it possible to have mappings for different controllers
that have the same VID/PID. This happens frequently with some generic
controller boards that have been reused in many products.

The name that the Raw Input joystick driver pulls from the HID stack comes
from USB string descriptors contained on the device. For official wireless
receivers, this always contains "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows"
which matches the friendly name that WGI provides.
3rd party Xbox 360 wireless receivers may have different strings in their
USB string descriptors (one uses "XBOX 360 For Windows" instead). This
fails to match WGI's name and causes Raw Input and WGI to both report the
same gamepad.
Since wireless Xbox 360 controllers seem to have a consistent VID/PID
regardless of the adapter enumerating them, we can also match on that to
catch these.
The duplicate case reported to me was:
Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) - 030000005e040000a102000000007200
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows - 030000005e0400000000000000007701
We can also ditch the lock in RAWINPUT_JoystickQuit() now that the joystick
subsystem quits drivers in reverse order. There's no chance of a racing call
to RAWINPUT_WindowProc() anymore.
i.e. where the string is known guaranteed to be WCHAR*, in:
- SDL_dinputjoystick.c (WIN_IsXInputDevice): VARIANT->var is BSTR (WCHAR*)
- SDL_rawinputjoystick.c (RAWINPUT_AddDevice): string is WCHAR*
- SDL_windows_gaming_input.c (IEventHandler_CRawGameControllerVtbl_InvokeAdded):
string is WCHAR*
There should be more of these..

Eliminate additional heap allocation for short-lived HSTRINGs.
Uses `WindowsCreateStringReference()` to disable reference counting and memory management by the Window Runtime.
