  Poll all 4 XInput slots + open mmsys.cpl directly (not ms-settings)

  #1 Controller dead in v0.6.3: we were only polling XInput user-index
  0. If Windows assigned the pad to slot 1+ (multiple Bluetooth/XInput
  devices in the host, or the pad simply moved between sessions), the
  poller saw ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED forever and the chip stayed
  on "no pad". Now we poll all four slots each tick, latch onto the
  first SUCCESS, and re-scan only when it disconnects — same cost on
  the happy path (one syscall when the pad is present), more
  resilient when slot assignment moves.

  #2 Sound settings shortcut did nothing in shell mode because
  "ms-settings:sound" URI resolution depends on Explorer's shell URL
  handler — which is exactly what's missing when GameSaver IS the
  shell. Switched to mmsys.cpl via shell32's Control_RunDLL directly,
  which is plain Win32 and works without Explorer.
