I am not confident there are no race conditions between s_write_mutex,
s_controller_write_payload_size, and s_controller_write_payload. But
this code should be safer than before.
s_controller_write_payload_size needs to remain an atomic because Read()
loads and stores without holding a mutex, Output() stores while holding
s_write_mutex, and ResetRumble() stores while holding s_read_mutex! I'm
pretty sure this code is wrong, specifically ResetRumble().
You can safely read or write non-atomic integers on multiple threads,
as long as every thread reading or writing it holds the same mutex
while doing so (here, s_mutex).
Removing the atomic accesses makes the code faster, but the actual
performance difference is probably negligible.
If libusb fails to initialize, an assertion fails, but if that happens before the main window is created, then Dolphin just dies. Now, the panic alert is properly shown and the user can ignore it.
If InputConfig::LoadConfig() was called once with a non empty/customized config,
then called again after manually deleting the config (dolphin calls LoadConfig() every time it opens the mapping widget),
the second load would fail to clear the values on any non first EmulatedController and would instead keep the
previous config values despite it being deleted (while it would instead correctly default the first EmulatedController).
This is not a big bug though the code is better now.

Before e1e3db13ba
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489

This helps us keeping the most important devices (e.g. Mouse and Keyboard) on the top
of the list of devices (they still are on all OSes supported by dolphin
and to make hotplug devices like DSU appear at the bottom.
-Fix Add/Remove/Refresh device safety, devices could be added and removed at the same time, causing missing or duplicated devices (rare but possible)
-Fix other devices population race conditions in ControllerInterface
-Avoid re-creating all devices when dolphin is being shut down
-Avoid re-creating devices when the render window handle has changed (just the relevantr ones now)
-Avoid sending Devices Changed events if devices haven't actually changed
-Made most devices populations will be made async, to increase performance and avoid hanging the host or CPU thread on manual devices refresh
A "devices changed" callback could have ended up waiting on another thread that was also populating devices
and waiting on the previous thread to release the callbacks mutex.
-Reworked thread waits to never hang the Host thread for more than a really small time
(e.g. when disabling DSU its thread now closes almost immediately)
-Improve robustness when a large amount of devices are connected
-Add devices disconnection detection (they'd stay there forever until manually refreshed)
-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
casting a value to a u32 when it's originally an int, and it's exposed as int to users,
could end up in cases where a negative number would result as a positive one.
This doesn't really affect the value range of the attachment enum,
still I think the code was wrong.
Heavily tested.
NumericSettings support a max, so let's use it.
It might not do much now, but the max and min values will be used to give visual feeback
in the UI in one of my upcoming input PRs
The control expression editor allows line breaks, but the serialization was
losing anything after the first line break (/r /n).
Instead of opting to encode them and decode them on serialization
(which I tried but was not safe, as it would lose /n written in the string by users),
I opted to replace them with a space.
Update references was failing to update the references, causing input to stay nullptr and crashing.
I fixed the case that triggered that, though also added checks against nullptrs for safety.

Add ! before unused variables to 'use' them.
Ubuntu-x64 emits warnings for unused variables because gcc decides
it should ignore the void cast around them. See thread for discussion:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66425
Loop index int i was being compared against GetControllerCount() which
returned a size_t. This was the only place GetControllerCount() was
called from so the change of return type doesn't disturb anything else.
Changing the loop index to size_t wouldn't work as well since it's
passed into GetController(), which takes an int and is called from many
places, so it would need a cast anyway on an already busy line.
DualShock UDP Client is the only place in the code that assumed OnConfigChanged()
is called at least once on startup or it won't load up the setting, so I took care of that
-If adding 2 devices with the same name, they their unique id wouldn't be increased, causing a conflict.
-Removing a device wouldn't actually remove it from the internal devices list because the list of devices had already been updated when going through it.
-It was possible to remove devices belonging to other sources by adding a device with the same name and then removing it.
Make sure m_is_populating_devices is true when a WM_INPUT_DEVICE_CHANGE
event is received directly on the ciface thread, so that callbacks do
not occur while removing devices. This breaks a hold-and-wait deadlock
between the ciface thread and the CPU thread when using emulated
Wiimotes.
