Change player input

@meleu requested
A simple way to choose the input for player 1, 2, 3 and 4. Maybe you can borrow some code/get inspiration from here.

It looks like this (from recalbox system):

Hmm, whats the options like on that? seems a bit odd. I would have thought it better to have just a re-sorting of inputs.

[meleu]

yeah! please, ignore the "pair a bluetooth controller option". my request is just for re-sorting the inputs. On the image, in the fields with "DEFAULT", if hit right/left, it loops through the available joysticks.
I made an script to achieve this goal at least for RetroArch emulators (as you can see here), but I would be happy to see this feature directly in emulationstation.

@dissolve
I would like to reinforce an argument for the implementation of this feature: I have many friends that choose Recalbox over RetroPie because of this feature.

They have several controllers plugged on raspi, when they want to play arcade games, they use arcade-like controllers. When they want to play the old console games, they use a regular joystick. That's why I made a script to simplify this configuration (at least for RetroArch emulators), but it would be really nice to see it in emulationstation.

@meleu oh I agree, this is certainly a really useful feature to have. 👍
