Controller device reservation / preference.

For each player, 2 new options are added:
- a reservation type (no reservation, preferred, reserved)
- a reserved device name

When handling port - player assignments, reserved devices
will be assigned to the respective player port. If reservation
type is "reserved", no other device can take that port
automatically.

Reservation config option and matching function lifted from:
PatrickStankard libretro#16269

Test joypad driver was extended for more tests.
