Issues addressed:
a) Axis mappings were including virtual mouse axes on NVIDIA Shield TV.
The virtual mouse axes have the same axis numbers as the normal analog stick numbers. This was completely breaking joypad support on NVIDIA Shield TV.
b) Joypads were being tracked in a List with the index in the list being treated as the Godot device id.
If a device were to be removed, any device later in the list would be shifted, potentially causing future events with the shifted joypads to have incorrect IDs according to the Godot engine.
c) Unnecessary events were being sent to the Godot engine.
A check was added (per Joystick) that will prevent sending events for all axes when only a single axis value changed.
A similar check was added for "HATs".

- Based on C++11's `thread` and `thread_local`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
The previously used tool, `jarsigner` has been deprecated in favor of `apksigner` which is bundled with the Android SDK.
The logic is refactored accordingly and a few editor settings have been deprecated in the process as they're no longer necessary.
Note: As a side effect, specifying the Android SDK path is now required. The docs will be updated to reflect that change.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
Since we clone the environments to build thirdparty code, we don't get an
explicit dependency on the build objects produced by that environment.
So when we update thirdparty code, Godot code using it is not necessarily
rebuilt (I think it is for changed headers, but not for changed .c/.cpp files),
which can lead to an invalid compilation output (linking old Godot .o files
with a newer, potentially ABI breaking version of thirdparty code).
This was only seen as really problematic with bullet updates (leading to
crashes when rebuilding Godot after a bullet update without cleaning .o files),
but it's safer to fix it everywhere, even if it's a LOT of hacky boilerplate.
