PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9700 removed spaces from within control names, which some user complained about, and their point of view is kind of understandable:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12605
with this change, only spaces outside (between) control names are trimmed, which are the ones we wanted to trim in the first place.
This will still retain the major advantages from 9700.
Basically, "`Button 1` + `Button 2`" was showing as "`Button1`+`Button2`", while it will now show as "`Button 1`+`Button 2`".
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.

this prevented some devices from being recreated correctly, as they were exclusive (e.g. DInput Joysticks)
This is achieved by calling Settings::ReleaseDevices(), which releases all the UI devices shared ptrs.
If we are the host (Qt) thread, DevicesChanged() is now called in line, to avoid devices being hanged onto by the UI.
For this, I had to add a method to check whether we are the Host Thread to Qt.
Avoid calling ControllerInterface::RefreshDevices() from the CPU thread if the emulation is running
and we manually refresh devices from Qt, as that is not necessary anymore.
Refactored the way IOWindow lists devices to make it clearer and hold onto disconnected devices.
There were so many issues with the previous code:
-Devices changes would not be reflected until the window was re-opened
-If there was no default device, it would fail to select the device at index 0
-It could have crashed if we had 0 devices
-The default device was not highlighted as such
Looks like the option was added to the Wx UI at commit 198d3b69, which
was a few months after the advancedWidget was originally ported from
Wx to Qt, but before anyone was actually using Qt.
