patch 1: Fix power level

Patch 1
-------

Fix GameCube controller power level being reset to unknown

HIDAPI_DriverGameCube_OpenJoystick() set power level to wired and then
it was set to unknown in SDL_JoystickOpen().

Patch 2
-------

Make GameCube controllers only rumble if both USB cables are connected

The Nintendo USB GameCube Adapter has two USB connectors. Black for data
and grey for additional power for rumble. The Wii U and other software
require both cables to use rumble. The rumble is weaker without the
second USB cable. Other than that I don't know if there is any negative
side affects from using rumble with only one cable.

Patch 3
-------

Handle GameCube WaveBird controller differences

Make wireless GameCube controllers use unknown power level instead of
wired and don't allow rumble (it doesn't have hardware for it).
