Crash in gamepads in WKWebView apps that also listen to the GameController framework themselves

If an app's UI process uses GameController framework directly before a web page in a WKWebView does, then the GameController framework tells that app about attached controllers ahead of time.

This subtlely gets WebKit's notion of attached game controllers out of sync with reality.
If the user then moves a joystick on the gamepad to cause input (but not press a button to cause the gamepad to be exposed to the web page) then we crash. (And ASSERT in debug builds)

You can compute 'auto end = std::min(m_gamepads.size(), platformGamepads.size())' outside the loop. A bit clearer and a bit more efficient.
