Gamepad Support

This does sound weird to implement, but I want the game to be fully playable on a steam deck.

• Focusing a textbox while in steam big picture now opens the on-screen-keyboard.

• Added default bindings for a lot of actions. (Can't be changed right now)

• Input tab now only shows gamepad-related things when connected.
