To keep the TAS inputs synced to the game speed even through lag spikes and loading zones, deeper access is required.
First, the `TAS::UpdateThread` has to be executed exactly once per frame. This is done by connecting it to the service method the game calls to pass parameters to the GPU: `Service::VI::QueueBuffer`.
Second, the loading time of new subareas and/or kingdoms (SMO) can vary. To counteract that, the `CPU_BOOST_MODE` can be detected: In the `APM`-interface, the call to enabling/disabling the boost mode can be caught and forwarded to the TASing system, which can pause the script execution if neccessary and enabled in the settings.
The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

Slight improvements to readability.
Dropped suggestions for string_view (settings.h:101), pass by value
(settings.h:82), reverting double to a float (config.cpp:316), and other
smaller ones, some out of scope.
Addresses review feedback.

bcat: Fix settings access
telemetry_session: Fix settings accesses
So this is what I get for testing with the web service disabled.
touch_from_button: Fix settings access for clang
Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
Delegates libusb external communication to externals/CMakeLists.txt
Ensures an interface library `usb` for every pathway
input_common just links to the `usb` library now
externals/libusb/CMakeLists.txt sets variables to override SDL2's libusb
finding
Other minor cleanup
SDL 2.0.14 introduces an incompatibility with Clang, causing it to
trigger -Wimplicit-fallthrough even though it is marked. Ignore it for
now, with a comment mentioning why this is needed.
Forces using SDL 2.0.14. Upgrades the SDL external to that version. Adds
a message when switching to the external.
Fixes an error where input_common only links to SDL when SDL2_FOUND is
set, but externals/CMakeLists cannot set that variable to the required
scope. Switch to using ENABLE_SDL2, which we can use since we now
include the SDL source.
This commit aims to address an exception that occurs when trying to join the Analog object's update_thread.
By using an atomic bool for the status of the update thread, we ensure its value is consistent across the threads accessing it.
error: unknown warning option '-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter'; did you mean '-Werror=unused-parameter'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
error: unknown warning option '-Werror=unused-but-set-variable'; did you mean '-Werror=unused-const-variable'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
Not all controllers have a SDL_GameController binding. This caused controllers not present in the SDL GameController database to have buttons mapped instead of axes.
Furthermore, it was not possible to invert the axes when it could be useful such as emulating a horizontal single joycon or other potential cases. This allows us to invert the axes by reversing the order of mapping (vertical, then horizontal).
Previously we used a vibration filter that filters out amplitudes close to each other. It turns out there are cases where this results into vibrations that are too inaccurate. Remove this and move the 100Hz vibration filter (Only allowing a maximum of 100 vibrations per second) from sdl_impl to npad when enable_accurate_vibrations is set to false.
A vibration device is an input device that returns an unsigned byte as status.
It represents whether the vibration device supports vibration or not.
If the status returns 1, it supports vibration. Otherwise, it does not support vibration.
Allows for enabling and modifying vibration and vibration strength per player.
Also adds a toggle for enabling/disabling accurate vibrations.

Sending too many state changes in a short period of time can cause massive performance issues.
As a result, we have to use several heuristics to reduce the number of state changes to minimize/eliminate this performance impact while maintaining the quality of these vibrations as much as possible.
RestoreDefaults() now restores the selected devices' mappings using UpdateMappingWithDefaults().
This allows us to move the keyboard mapping from RestoreDefaults() to UpdateMappingWithDefaults().
With this, the "Input Devices" combobox should accurately reflect the input device being used and disallows inputs from other input devices unless the input device is set to "Any".
It turns out that after a controller is disconnected, there is a chance that events from the previous controller are sent/processed after it has been disconnected.
This causes the previously disconnected controller to reappear as connected due to GetSDLJoystickBySDLID() emplacing this controller back to the map.
Fix this by only returning an SDLJoystick if and only if it exists in the map.
