Release 4.12.7

Flight sticks, HOTAS throttles, twist grips and rudder pedals, none of
which the game could see before: they arrive through DirectInput rather
than XInput, and PadRIO only read XInput.

joyconfig.bat is the setup: the wizard asks you to move each control in
turn and derives the sign convention from the direction of the move,
then writes the joystick rows of bindings.txt between marker lines,
leaving anything you have edited yourself alone.

Confirmed on the Logitech Extreme 3D: a full pass wrote all four axes,
six buttons and the hat, with X and the throttle lever inverted to match
the pod's convention and Y left alone - and the deadzone on the twist
grip was then hand-tuned from 0.08 to 0.18 in the file, which is the
workflow the marker section exists for.

Version strings bumped in RPL4.CPP, pack-dist.ps1 and the controls page
that ships in the zip.

Built clean, packed, zipped (1004 entries, nothing loose at the root)
and smoke-tested from the dist: boots reporting 4.12.7, virtual RIO up,
and no DirectInput enumeration at all on a default bindings.txt - the
joystick layer only opens when the profile asks for it.
