Add gamepad rumble support to bevy_input (#8398)
# Objective

Provide the ability to trigger controller rumbling (force-feedback) with
a cross-platform API.

## Solution

This adds the `GamepadRumbleRequest` event to `bevy_input` and adds a
system in `bevy_gilrs` to read them and rumble controllers accordingly.

It's a relatively primitive API with a `duration` in seconds and
`GamepadRumbleIntensity` with values for the weak and strong gamepad
motors. It's is an almost 1-to-1 mapping to platform APIs. Some
platforms refer to these motors as left and right, and low frequency and
high frequency, but by convention, they're usually the same.

I used #3868 as a starting point, updated to main, removed the low-level
gilrs effect API, and moved the requests to `bevy_input` and exposed the
strong and weak intensities.

I intend this to hopefully be a non-controversial cross-platform
starting point we can build upon to eventually support more fine-grained
control (closer to the gilrs effect API)

## Changelog

### Added

- Gamepads can now be rumbled by sending the `GamepadRumbleRequest`
event.
