📄 Description

Ideally we'd have a whole GUI to configure gamepads for every player but that's kind of a long-term goal, so for now I made it just take the first SDL-compatible controller and pass it's buttons and axes to WindowSDL's controller, just like the current keyboard handler does. It's not much, but I think it will make early testing less annoying, especially for me with an 80% keyboard with no numpad.
