Some games cut off the device names in controls bindings screens so it makes it impossible to distinguish which controller is being interacted with.
For example "Xidi Virtual Controller 1" becomes "Xidi Virtual Contro..."

This change adds a new section to the .ini file to allow for controller name customizations.

[Names]
Name.1 = Controller 1
Name.2 = Controller 2
Name.3 = Controller 3
Name.4 = Controller 4

Thanks for the suggestion and implementation! I can definitely see why it would be useful to shorten the virtual controller names for those applications that won't display long names correctly.

My preference, though, would be to make it a Boolean setting - "use short names" or something like that - which could go into the Workarounds section, rather than allowing users to override each individual virtual controller name completely free-form. It would make for a simpler implementation that achieves the same purpose without being burdensome on users editing the configuration file. (And imagine what happens if/when Xidi starts to support more than 4 controllers!)
