Switch next

This is just for testing that things build before replacing #181

@glebm would you be willing to help out with sorting out the SDL1 implementation for this branch? It looks to be mostly just SDL_GameControler related things at this point. For now they can just be #ifndef SDL1 so that it passes the build test, then we can work on some kind of alternate implementation in a PR that focuses on the game controller code alone.

@AJenbo Sure, on it. Is there a developer discord for devilutionX btw?

[AJenbo]

@glebm the discord link is in top of the ReadMe, I'm surprised how many miss it :)

Looks like we have taken care of most of the issues with the Switch platform support:

The only other things are missing are:

1. Generate a config.h with name and version (see config.h.in) when running make
2. Display the error messages from appfat.cpp correctly to the user
3. Allow the user to enter a name for there hero
4. Move the remaining hardcoded resolution (either use SDL for this or move it to where we call SDL for other platforms.

However, this branch still needs testing.

The rest looks to be mostly just the controller code, and it should really be done as a separate PR.

Concerning 3. already implemented ages ago (opens virtual keyboard for name entry)

Concerning 2. Maybe just write the errors to a log file as .txt? There's no system dialog box that is accessible to homebrew. So to display one, we would have to draw it ourselves, handle input for it etc. sounds like a lot of work for nothing.

[AJenbo]

Actually I might have a solution for 2, my Mac is apparently also affected so I can test it there. What happens if we call the dialog code at all?

[rsn8887]

If you are thinking SDL would provide a dialog box, no. Not on Switch.

[AJenbo]

Yeah I understand, we where already using SDL2. It's the same on my 2002 Mac. Do you get an error in the terminal (can't remember if you have access to it) when trying to create the dialog? I get something like "no messaging system available"
