Some controllers (notably those made by 8bitdo) do not always emit an event to zero out a D-pad axis before flipping direction. For example, when rolling around aggressively the D-pad of an 8bitdo SN30 Pro/Pro+, the following may be observed:
```
ABS_HAT0X : -1
ABS_HAT0Y : -1
ABS_HAT0Y : 0
ABS_HAT0Y : 1
ABS_HAT0X : 1
```
Notable here is that no event for `ABS_HAT0X: 0` is emitted between the events for `ABS_HAT0X: -1` and `ABS_HAT0X: 1`. Consequently, the game engine believes that both the negative _and_ positive x-axis directions of the D-pad are activated simultaneously (i.e `is_joy_button_pressed()` returns `true` for both `JOY_BUTTON_DPAD_LEFT` and `JOY_BUTTON_DPAD_RIGHT`), which should be impossible.
This issue is _not_ reproducible on all controllers. The Xbox One controller in particular will not exhibit this problem (it always emits zeroing out events for an axis before flipping direction).
The fix is to always zero out the opposite direction on the D-pad axis in question when processing an event with a nonzero value. This unfortunately wastes a small number of CPU cycles on controllers that behave nicely.
**I have verified this issue is also reproducible in the stable 3.2 branch**

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
The ID property for InputEvents is set by `SceneTree` when sending the event down the tree.
So there's no need for the platform specific code to set this value when it will later be overriden anyway...
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
Now InputDefault is responsible for giving out joypad device IDs to the platform, instead of each platform handling this itself.
This makes it possible for c++ modules to add their own "custom" gamepad devices, without the risk of messing up events in case the user also has regular gamepads attached (using the OS code).
For now, it's implemented for the main desktop platforms.
Possible targets for future work: android, uwp, javascript
