The Action Set API

[flibitijibibo]

Similar to SDL_gpu, this is just a way to look at SDL_actionset as it develops, with the hope that it will be usable early in the SDL3 dev cycle.

Right now I have the first draft in a standalone program, but before I start cleaning it up for SDL I thought I'd get the minimum boilerplate set up first.

The current specification for Action Sets can be found here.

TODO:

• Update VisualC
• Update Xcode
• Update Android.mk
• Regenerate dynapi

Fixes #4464

I'm wondering if this should be a satellite library, like SDL_ttf?

Possibly! If it turns out the implementation doesn't require any SDL internals then this could probably be spun off into its own DLL. Just about the only thing I could find in the initial implementation is that we don't have a great way to detect keyboard/mouse hardware, everything else fits neatly into the usual SDL event watch.

The Intel builders are acting up today, could just be a repo update... mysteriously my repo's CI went through just fine, so I guess re-run failed tests tomorrow?

I'll look into caching the compiler. The toolchain is huge, but well below the cache limit.
