v1.3.1 - Some Fixes and Improved Game Controller Support

[whylurking]

A small update with fixes for what you reported after 1.3.0. Thanks for all the feedback!

💾 Saves now live next to the game (Windows / Linux)

• Your progress is now saved in a saves folder next to IsaacRecomp.exe / isaac (beside the tools folder), so it is easy to find, back up or move with the game.
• The first time 1.3.1 starts, the saves from the old location (%APPDATA%\IsaacRecomp\WrathOfTheLamb\ on Windows, ~/.local/share/IsaacRecomp/WrathOfTheLamb/ on Linux) are copied over automatically. The old files are left where they were.
• Fixed: (#15) on Windows set up in some other languages, the game couldn't read or write its save if a folder name had accents, Cyrillic or other non-English letters (for example the Windows user name). Any folder name works now.

🎮 Controller menus

• The selected option is pastel pink, with the same tone on every screen. Only Start in the main menu keeps the deep red.
• Collection: the D-pad / stick now moves to the item right next to the selected one, in the direction you press (it used to jump around the grid). The first item is selected when the collection opens.
• "Are you sure you want me to die?" (Exit Game, in the main menu and in the pause screen): the note can now be answered with the controller. No is selected first, and the options behind the note can't be selected anymore.
• Smoother movement: each press goes to the next option in that direction, with no skipped options (for example Fullscreen → Music → Controls Back → Rebind Controls).
• B / ◯ goes back one screen, like the Back buttons: Controls → Options → main menu. It used to close every window at once.
• The selection no longer flickers or slides away while the screen moves (returning to the main menu, entering Stats).
• The collected items in the pause screen are no longer selectable, since they do nothing.

🔊 Sound with a controller (PC)

• Starting the game with a DualSense / DualShock 4 / Xbox controller already connected no longer sends the sound to the controller (Windows makes it the default output). The game plays through your speakers or headphones.

📱 Touch controls

• Original game and Wrath of the Lamb: tapping the bomb counter places a bomb again. It only worked in Eternal Edition.
