enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 7b25868a19 fix(input): rock-solid held gamepad state — Android device pinning + seq'd snapshots
Two causes behind one field report (a held trigger jittering mid-game,
Android client → Windows host):

Android folded joystick ACTION_MOVEs from EVERY device into one axis
state. A controller's joystick-classified sibling node (DualSense/DS4
motion sensors) or a second/drifting pad reports every pad axis as 0,
so a held trigger flapped value→0→value on each event interleave. The
mapper now qualifies the source DEVICE (its source classes must include
GAMEPAD — a joystick event's own source is always plain JOYSTICK), pins
to one deviceId until that device disconnects, and merges LTRIGGER/BRAKE
(and RTRIGGER/GAS) with max, the same fold as the Controllers probe.

Underneath, gamepad input rode per-transition events over unreliable,
unordered QUIC datagrams — no sequence numbers, sharing the 4 KiB
oldest-first-shed send buffer — so one dropped or reordered event
corrupted held pad state until the NEXT change. Gamepad state now
travels the way rumble already does: idempotent state, refreshed.
InputKind::GamepadState packs the whole pad + a wrapping u8 seq into
the existing 18-byte layout; the host advertises HOST_CAP_GAMEPAD_STATE
(Welcome trailing byte, offset 67) and applies snapshots through a
per-pad stale-seq gate, skipping frame emits for unchanged refreshes;
the client folds embedder events into snapshots inside NativeClient's
input task (send on change + 100 ms refresh of touched pads), so the
SDL clients (Linux/Windows/session), Android, and Apple (C ABI) are all
covered with zero capture-code changes. Either end older ⇒ the legacy
per-transition path runs unchanged.
