AntiMicroX maps gamepad buttons to synthetic keyboard/mouse events -
useful here because ti99sim-sdl's own joystick handling only ever emits
digit keys 1-9 for a raw button (confirmed against its source), with no
path to 0/Enter/Q/Esc, and because it's a plausible angle on Cemu not
reliably telling apart two Wolf virtual pads that share an SDL GUID.
Scoped to just these two ES-DE systems via a second, separately-labeled
"(AntiMicroX)" <command> alongside each one's existing default - ES-DE's
own multi-command "alternative emulators" mechanism - rather than
touching every system. Each launches through a small wrapper script
that starts AntiMicroX hidden (--no-tray --hidden --eventgen uinput,
flags confirmed against AntiMicroX's own commandlineutility.cpp source)
against a profile the user builds themselves via AntiMicroX's own GUI in
the Desktop/XFCE app, execs the real emulator, and kills AntiMicroX on
exit.
AntiMicroX needs /dev/uinput to inject events under ES-DE's Sway/Wayland
session (its XTest backend needs Xwayland, not present here), so the
esde catalog entry now requests it via both GOW_REQUIRED_DEVICES and a
real device grant - and make_app_block/the reinstall-update path both
learn to read/refresh a per-app 'devices' field instead of always
emitting an empty array, so this actually reaches an existing install on
a rerun, not just a fresh one (verified live against a synthetic
pre-uinput-era config.toml).
Also fixes a latent whitespace-eating bug in every custom_systems
strip-and-reappend regex in this file (trailing \s*\n? reached into the
next sibling block's leading indentation once two custom systems
coexist in the same file) - cosmetic only, but it would have made every
rerun churn indentation between the ti994a and wiiu blocks. Caught and
verified via a standalone test harness exercising all four
strip-and-reappend blocks together across repeated passes.
