Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489

-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
casting a value to a u32 when it's originally an int, and it's exposed as int to users,
could end up in cases where a negative number would result as a positive one.
This doesn't really affect the value range of the attachment enum,
still I think the code was wrong.
Heavily tested.
NumericSettings support a max, so let's use it.
It might not do much now, but the max and min values will be used to give visual feeback
in the UI in one of my upcoming input PRs
The control expression editor allows line breaks, but the serialization was
losing anything after the first line break (/r /n).
Instead of opting to encode them and decode them on serialization
(which I tried but was not safe, as it would lose /n written in the string by users),
I opted to replace them with a space.
While having motion control emulation of IR enabled by default
makes sense in situations like using a DualShock 4 on a PC,
Android has the additional option of touch emulation of IR
which seems to be better liked, and the default value which
was chosen with PC in mind was carried over to Android
without any particular consideration. This change disables
motion control emulation of IR by default on Android only.
Trims out unnecessary includes to avoid unnecessary header dependencies.
This also resolves indirect inclusions of <optional> within
IMUAccelerometer.h and IMUGyroscope.h
