The public headers saw lots of cleanups, backporting from SDL3 docs, and
merging with the wiki.
The markdown files in docs/README-*.md were converted to Unix endlines.
SDL_GetGamepadAxis() is a SDL3-specific name: SDL2 calls gamepads
"game controllers".

It would be easy to assume that all APIs that reference
SDL_JOYSTICK_AXIS_MAX work the same way, but they do not: triggers
generally use the full signed 16-bit range in the lower-level joystick
API, but are normalized to be non-negative by the higher-level gamepad
API.
We also never said explicitly which direction is positive here.
Experimentally, it's right (X), down (Y), and pressed (triggers).

(cherry picked from commit 059fb560ba)
Added support for getting the real controller info, as well as the function SDL_GameControllerGetSteamHandle() to get the Steam Input API handle, from the virtual gamepads provided by Steam.
Also added an event SDL_CONTROLLERSTEAMHANDLEUPDATED which is triggered when a controller's API handle changes, e.g. the controllers were reassigned slots in the Steam UI.
(cherry picked from commit c981a597dc)
To enter Bluetooth pairing mode hold B and Action (button with circle) buttons for 3 seconds.
It works via usual HIDAPI if special filter driver is not installed:

With that driver installed it mimics Xbox One controller and works via XInput under Windows.
Under DInput this controller is not usable at all.
Added support for the PS4 controller gyro and accelerometer on iOS and HIDAPI drivers
Also fixed an issue with the accelerometer on iOS having inverted axes
