[Ohrrpgce] SVN: teeemcee/9596 gfx_sdl2: update events, mouse handling and text input. Now compiles!

[James Paige]

Ah, yes. The whole virtual gamepad thing would have to be re-implemented
within the gfx_sdl2 backend.

So probably I won't even attempt it until some day in the future when we
consider gfx_sdl2 to be really stable.

Anyway, very cool that you have started on this. :)
