Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have used JoyShockMapper to bind my controller such that I can use the Gyroscope to move the cursor and the ZR button to click. I miss this feature when navigating the pause menu, main menu and inventory screens in Controlify.

Gyro works just as well as a cursor as a camera, especially for experienced users.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have an off-by-default option to use a Gyroscope-controlled cursor pointer to move a cursor. You can click on menu buttons, and move the inventory cursor around its screen freely! Quick move bindings should work.

Gyro sensitivity, and the ability to rebind the X cursor and Y cursor to Yaw, Pitch, Roll and Yaw + Roll would be needed to make this work.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently using this with JoyShockMapper. Native would be nice as always. Thankyou!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the existing gyroscope input and menu or inventory cursor handling in Controlify. Done should include an off-by-default gyro cursor option, menu clicking, quick-move support, sensitivity controls, and remapping cursor axes to the requested gyro orientations.
