HIDGamepads should populate themselves with initial input values

HIDGamepads should populate themselves with initial input values.

At construction time, for each element they own they should query the HIDElement on the device.

Ignore the can't-buildness that EWS sees - In my tree this patch is built on previous patches.  I will pass it through EWS before landing.

Patch didn’t apply in EWS.

I think a local just before each call to IOHIDDeviceGetValue would be nicer than sharing this local.

I know this sounds a little silly, but a helper that takes an const HIDGamepadElement& and does all this would make the code tigther and easier to read.

Normally with struct inheritance we would omit the "public" (it's the default).
