Python3 is the default in current Debian & friends distros, but the current fork from zerojay/xboxdrv.git doesn't support it.
Upstream has moved back to Github [1] and added the necessary fixes for building with `python3`, so merge the upstream code with the various fixes added in zerojay/xboxdrv under retropie/xboxdrv.git. This fixes building under RaspiOS _bullseye_.
Since the new Sconsfile doesn't build with `python2` anymore, make the `python3` usage explicit for the `deps` and `build` phases.
Added a few modifications needed to build & install the new 0.80 version:
* Meson version needed is 0.57, which is not available in Debian _bullseye_ yet.
Install 0.61.5 locally for the build step. This is the last version not requiring Python 3.7, which should cover Ubuntu 18.04 (still at 3.6)
* Changed the install command to `ninja`, since `meson install` requires a system install for `meson` and thus install would fail when using the locally downloaded `meson`
The changes allow building and installing on Ubuntu 18.04, which was previously failing.
Notable changes from the Dosbox-Staging 0.80 release (excerpts from https://dosbox-staging.github.io/v0-80-0/):
* ReelMagic DOS games are now playable thanks to the efforts of Jon Dennis, Chris Guthrie, and Joseph Whittaker, with testing and feedback from Vogons users Uka, DonutKing, and Vetz
* Mouse emulation has been improved and now supports up to six independent mice, enabling split-screen play in games like The Settlers and The Settlers II
* More settings, including video, audio, and MIXER effects, can now be changed on the fly
* Post-rendered screenshots - use Alt+F5 to capture the as-seen (post-rendered) image, in addition to the previous (Ctrl+F5) screenshot function that captured the emulated video card's image prior to rendering
* More bundled OpenGL shaders. Launch DOSBox Staging with the --list-glshaders command-line argument to list the available OpenGL shaders
* FluidSynth's specific reverb and chorus configuration settings are now applied and will replace the default values that were previously always applied
* The modem's call now has a warm-up period where it will discard data
The changes added enable `lzdoom` to build (and run) on RPI1/RPI0:
- remove the `ARMV8` build option, since it used upstream as a toggle between RPI2 or RPI3 CPU parameters. Since we're passing the platform CPU flags to `gcc` ourselves, they're not really needed and they'll add the wrong options for other ARM platforms
- patch the included LZMA SDK CRC calculation to not assume every ARM platform supports hardware-assistet CRC (i.e. ARMv8). This will fix the build for RPI1/ARMv6 platforms
LTO was recently enabled in the upstream Makefile, but our CFLAGS are not sent to the linking stage which causes issues due to conflicts with our CPU flags
LTO has been problematic in the past so easiest to disable it as before.
There was a mix of compareVersions "$__os_debian_ver" OP $arg and [[ "$__os_debian_ver OP $arg ]] around the code.
As $__os_debian_ver is always an integer, use the bash built in operators for performance.
The compareVersions call is significantly slower as it uses an external command (dpkg).
Add the Debian version for the Debian Edition of Linux Mint.
- version 4 is based on Debian 10 'buster
- version 5 is based on Debian 11 'bullseye'
Older versions (1 to 3) are no longer supported upstream.
Updated to 3.88b (released on Feb 2022) to include recent fixes, should fix building with recent `gcc` (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian testing).
Changed the license URL to the main project's license file.
The Kodi PPA for Jammy (22.04) and later doesn't include `kodi-inputstream-rtmp` anymore.
Trying to install the version from the Ubuntu repositories will produce a conflict due to mismatched dependencies with the versions from the PPA, so don't try to install the package.
NOTE: the addon can be later installed from inside Kodi, which is also recommended in its installation page:

The speexdsp meson wrap enables armv7/neon instructions when building for armv6 (Raspberry Pi 1). This causes compilation to fail.
Patch meson.build to disable the simd option for older arm platforms (that don't have the neon platform flag).
It fails on g++-9 (the oldest I have on this desktop) and it's not worth fixing as we no longer support jessie.
Remove isl and cloog as they are not needed for building GCC >= 5
Clear ASFLAGS or else "-march=native" will get used for the arm targetted GCC/AS and throw an error. This is needed since 4f464162.
Add -O2 optimisation to CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS.
Save and restore PATH and restore ASFLAGS,CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS env variables to defaults after building.
Clean module build folder in setup_crosscomp after building.
Scriptmodule changes:
1. Added a few more default options to the main config:
- `remap_save_on_exit` set to false (new option), since by default input remapping will be auto-saved on exit.
Prevents users accidentally messing their controls and keeps the behavior similar to the previous versions.
- `menu_disable_search_button` set to `true` (new option) instead of using our patch for disabling the Search action.
- (cosmetic) disabled some Quick Menu items (Overlay and Favorites).
2. Removed `rgui_show_start_screen`, since it's now `false` by default.

crc and simd and enable by default in all versions of gcc so would be redundant to add here.
Cortex-A57 armv8.0 has optional crypto extensions so they are not enabled by default. TX1 and TX2 have these extensions available in hardware.
