Some people might wonder where the ability to select an extension
and the Sideways Wii Remote went. This button will take them to the
general settings, which is where those settings now live.
At some point in the future, we should probably move everything to the
general settings. But this pull request is already big enough as it is!
Up until now, there have been two settings on Android that stored the
selected Wii Remote extension: the normal one that's also used on PC,
and a SharedPreferences one that's used by the overlay controls to
determine what controls to show. It is possible for these two to end up
out of sync, and my input changes have made that more likely to happen.
To fix this, let's rework how the overlay controller setting works.
We don't want it to encode the currently selected Wii Remote extension.
However, we can't simply get rid of the setting, because for some Wii
games we need the ability to switch between a GameCube controller and a
Wii Remote. What this commit does is give the user the option to select
any of the 4 GameCube controllers and any of the 4 Wii Remotes. (Before,
controllers 2-4 weren't available in the overlay.) Could be useful for
things like the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. I'm also
switching from SharedPreferences to Dolphin.ini while I'm at it.
It's missing a lot of features from the PC version for now, like
buttons for inserting functions and the ability to see what the
expression evaluates to. I mostly just wanted to get something in
place so you can set up rumble.

The settings GameCube Controller N and Wii Remote N (where N is a number)
have two purposes: You can select what controller type you want to use,
and also, when you select a controller type (even if you're selecting the
one that already is selected), the mapping settings open. This second part
is less discoverable than it ideally should be. I'm changing it so that
there now is a button for opening the mapping settings instead.
A user shouldn't be able to disable "skip ipl" when they don't have a bios file. This finds the ipl file and tells the setting when toggling is allowed. Additionally, if the user previously disabled the option and then deletes their ipl file, they will be allowed to enable it but toggling will be disabled afterwards.
