Summary

This change would enable users to modify the sdl_controllers.txt file in GAME_DIR for custom keymapping if they wish to without needing to mess with the global configuration.

Instead of forcibly rewriting the file, it would only copy it if it does not exist so modifications would be possible, and resetting to default would be a simple matter of manually removing the file.

Testing

I implemented the same modification on local installations of other handheld OSs where this file was not write protected.

Additional Context

Should not affect existing behaviour, only enable manual modifications.
