XRInputSource: gamepad property

The read-only XRInputSource property gamepad returns a Gamepad object describing the state of the buttons and axes on the XR input source, if it is a gamepad or comparable device. If the device isn't a gamepad-like device, this property's value is null.

The Gamepad instance returned behaves as described by the Gamepad API. However, there are a few things to note:
