Previously, the Qt frontend would initialize the controller
interface on starting, resulting in the cursor position being
relative to the main window, instead of the render window.
Xlib supports many mouse buttons, though there are 9 standard buttons, and they aren't arranged like other mouse APIs. Using only 5 buttons was preventing the use of buttons besides left/right/middle click and the scroll wheel. Here's what all the standard buttons are:
1. left button
2. middle button (pressing the scroll wheel)
3. right button
4. turn scroll wheel up
5. turn scroll wheel down
6. push scroll wheel left
7. push scroll wheel right
8. 4th button (aka browser backward button)
9. 5th button (aka browser forward button)
The remaining button indices are non-standard and device-specific, and technically far more than 32 are supported, but this seems like a reasonable limit to avoid cluttering the list with tons of useless mouse buttons. What mouse has more than 32 buttons anyways?
Makes it less error-prone to get state data from analog sticks (no need
to pass any locals), and also allows direct assignment, letting the
retrieved data be const.

Deduplicates code, and gets rid of some problems the old code had
(such as: bad performance when calling native functions, only one
disc showing up for multi-disc games, Wii banners being low-res,
unnecessarily much effort being needed for adding more metadata).
Some button names should be translated, for instance Up, Left and such.
At the same time, some other button names shouldn't be translated,
for reasons that might be less obvious. In 0146456af, I removed the
_trans markers for button names that never need to be translated
(such as A and B), but that isn't actually enough to ensure that
DolphinWX won't try to translate them anyway. This commit adds a bool
that explicitly tells the GUI whether a button name should be translated.
Otherwise we'll have problems like the GUI treating the button name "B"
(which isn't supposed to be translated) as matching the translatable
string "B" (being an abbreviation of "bytes"), meaning that the button
"B" will be labeled "o" when running Dolphin in French (after
translations get pulled from Transifex the next time).
By the way, while it turned out that DolphinWX translated all button
names, it also turned out that DolphinQt2 translated *no* button names.
Go figure. This commit makes them consistent with each other.
