Gamepad support no longer working on tvOS simulator

I understand if this isn't considered a major/breaking issue as per #669 - even if not, I figured it's worth making a note of.

Input on the tvOS simulator (I haven't yet been able to compare on real hardware) has a few issues: using touchMove, the input is registered but the coordinate system seems fairly odd. The clientX (or pageX, both return the same) and clientY numbers both seem to return anything from around -900px to +2100px, on a 1920x1080 canvas. I haven't yet been able to cleanly figure out the limits or origin of the axes in order to make use of the events.

Running the gamepad example code from https://impactjs.com/ejecta/gamepad causes a runtime error which appears to stem from the gamepad.id call. Removing that allows the code to run, however the only gamepad (the simulator remote) registers as extendedGamepad rather than the expected microGamepad and doesn't register any inputs at all.

Other than that, the library still seems to be doing a great job, even on tvOS 14 - so any advice on the input handling would be very much appreciated!

I've been able to test on real hardware now, and it does appear to be a simulator-specific issue with the gamepad. It looks similar to robreuss/VirtualGameController#9, but even with repeated active polling for a second device to be added to GCController.controllers, nothing comes up. The dead extendedGamepad persists, and no microGamepad is added - it's not just the connection event missing, as in that issue, but the remote as a whole.

For now, I'm continuing to work on actual hardware instead.
