📄 Description

Summary

Adds full Nintendo Switch Pro Controller support, enabling:

Gyroscope and accelerometer motion forwarding (requests motion events from Moonlight for Nintendo controller types, same as already done for PS5)
Proper Pro Controller identity with Bluetooth bus, stable MAC-based UNIQ, and correct VID/PID so hid-nintendo binds and SDL recognizes the device
Only hidraw and IMU evdev nodes are exposed to the container (the evdev joystick node is skipped to prevent SDL from creating a duplicate controller via both HIDAPI and evdev paths)
Face button remapping (A↔B, X↔Y) via a translate_buttons() helper to compensate for SDL HIDAPI's Nintendo→Xbox remap on read
Tests covering Switch metadata consistency, reconnect plug/unplug, and replayed Moonlight packet ranges

Dependencies

Requires the inputtino Switch Pro UHID backend: games-on-whales/inputtino#37
