General

Fixed SteamDeck being recognized as previously authorized device for Family Sharing.
Fixed the new controller support panel showing on tools/applications.
Fixed several layout regressions in the quick access menu, eula dialogs, and game achievements page.

Big Picture Mode

Add the buttons back to the game launch interstitials rather than relying on the footer buttons.

Steam Input

Fix the desktop configuration page being blank when opted-out of Steam Input
Fix for Steam Controller gyro turn rate, and sped up gravity correction. Both were affecting the feel of Gyro to Deflection Mode.
Fixed some controllers not being able to pass the Stationary Tolerances manual calibration phase.
Fixed occasional "jerks" in "Gyro To..." conversion modes that used the gravity axis (i.e. Player Space, World Space, Laser Pointer modes)
Improved Gyro to Joystick Deflection mode's low level noise.
Reinstated horizontal haptics for all new "Gyro To..." modes.
Fixed UI: order of Steam Deck Gyro's Calibration readings.
Attempt to fix legacy Gyro "Joystick" mode - use the gravity orientation found upon app switch and subtract it from the live feed.
