File this one under "I'm not sure how this ever worked."
I mean, it did (in 1.8.8). I'm not sure what changed, but ultimately what I did was
a bunch of comparative testing against 1.8.8:
- I confirmed the packet data was still being read successfully
- I confirmed that the axis value being passed into pad->get_axis() had
not changed
- I confirmed the work done in `gamepad_read_axis_data()` was working the same
between 1.8.8 and master
With the only difference between 1.8.8 and current being the return value from
`gamepad_read_axis_data()`, I just rewrote the method to work properly, and
also fixed up the default axis mapping.
I tested this with a sixaxis controller and GCA, configuring the analog-to-digital
control override to use the right stick.
* (3DS) Add bottom screen menu
-> User can save/load state on botom screen with thumbnail.
-> Call a save_state_to_file() when RAM state has data to write a disk.
-> If the bottom screen needs updating, swap the bottom framebuffers.
Add: SAVE/LODE STATE TO RAM
-> This is useful for devices with slow I/O
-> 3DS bottom save state use CMD_EVENT_SAVE_STATE_TO_RAM
-> 3DS bottom load state use CMD_EVENT_LOAD_STATE when RAM state has no data
-> 3DS bottom load state use CMD_EVENT_LOAD_STATE_FROM_RAM when RAM sate has data
* Rewrite path_get_state to retroarch_get_current_savestate_path
* Fix unterminated state_path
This fixes programs using /dev/uinput to create a virtual keyboard failing
to be detected on startup. Usual symptom is some sort of GPIO-based
controller that looks like a keyboard to the OS and can control
EmulationStation, but fails to work in-game unless you restart the program
while the game is running (in which case udev_input.c's hotplug code, which
was using the correct key, would pick it up).

After a bisect, the culprit was changing the gamepad interface from
returing a single button (bool) to multiple (int16).
The issue is that the Wii U gamepad (and presumably the Pro controller too)
have more than 16 buttons, which means some buttons get lost. Notably, L3 (18)
and R3 (17).
The solution: use int32 instead of int16.
I did a test build and confirmed that this change restores L3/R3 functionality
with the gamepad. Don't have a pro controller to test, but it should work too.
