There are 2 APIs for "joystick" inputs, JOYSTICK and GAMEPAD, gamepad is more modern approach, and gamepads are unified with mappings, (e.g. on joystick on gamepad brand A, bumpers are 4 and 5, on brand B they are 6 and 8 - on GAMEPAD they are mapped exactly the same way)
also, gamepads are initialized ONLY at start of app, when pad gets disconnected you need to restart app - this PR change it, app can detect disconnect and connect, and reopen the connection for it
and you can call "open_gamepads" on demand
tested on linux desktop and android
