[Controller] Proposal of input changes for inventory management

Edited as of 0.2.0h, since the new 'Bulk Move' uses one of my suggested inputs.

Problem 1: Currently, "clear search" input is LT+LSB (L2+L3), but LT (L2) is ALSO used for the 'Reorder Tabs' input, so every time I try to clear search, I end up moving my current tab to the left cause they share the same button.

Problem 2: The 'bypass tab Affinity' currently uses the input LSB+Y (L3+triangle). This is not very usable for multiple items, as you need your left thumb to move around items, but also need the same thumb to press LSB (L3) to bypass the affinity. A button that only uses the right thumb would be much preferred.

Generally, 'higher order' stash management options currently use the RSB (R3) to do so, such as rename tab, access stash options, etc. Reordering tabs is something I would consider as 'higher order', as it is NOT something we do all the time, we generally order them once and never change the order again for a long time. Thus, I believe that reordering tabs should require pressint RSB (R3) before pressing RT/LT (R2/L2) to move left/right. Additionally, 'bypass tab affinity' IS something we do all the time, so it should not use the RSB (R3) button to do so, as it becomes really clunky. So, as follows:

Proposed changes:

"Reorder Tabs":
- Current input: LT (L2) to move a tab to the left, RT (R2) to move a tab to the right.
- Suggested input: RSB+LT (R3+L2) to move a tab to the left, RSB+RT (R3+R2) to move a tab to the right.

"Bypass tab Affinity":
- Current input: RSB+Y (R3+triangle)
- Suggested input: RT+Y (R2+triangle). Since RT (R2) alone is now 'free', due to the suggested change to "Reorder Tabs", it could be used to bypass tab affinity. So, it would be much better to just hold RT (R2) then press Y (triangle) multiple times to bypass affinity on multiple items.

RS + Y would be even worse than LS + Y
Even better would be making proper controller <-> kbm switching working so we can use kbm for UI stuff and play with controller just like on D4 and LE.

RS + Y would be even worse than LS + Y

But where did I say RS + Y? My suggestion was 'hold Y' instead of LSB + Y, just like we use 'hold A' for accept trade/open strongbox currency menu/etc. [now edited as of 0.2.0h]
