When using the Monado SteamVR driver plugin together with an Oculus
Rift CV-1 and Oculus touch controllers, the grip / squeeze sensors
(e.g., /user/hand/left/input/squeeze/value) and the thumbsticks did not
work.
This because SteamVR expects those controls to be exposed under a
different path than what one would use for OpenXR, e.g.,
OpenXR /input/squeeze --> SteamVR /input/grip and
OpenXR /input/thumbstick --> SteamVR /input/joystick
The same is true for some other controller types.
To fix this, add some new code for input subpath substitution, to perform
this remapping, depending on binding type:
For type "trigger": Substitute squeeze with grip
For type "joystick": Substitute thumbstick with joystick
For rare controller types where this would be the wrong thing to do,
e.g., Valve Index (for type "joystick", needs the path to remain
"thumbstick" as before), and for special cases not covered, we add
a new optional parameter 'steamvr_path' which can be used in bindings.json
to handle such mismatches in path flexibly to allow a dedicated path
name for SteamVR, overriding the regular "OpenXR style" input path or
auto-substituted path is if the parameter is omitted.
This makes the Oculus Rift CV-1 touch controllers fully work under SteamVR.
I haven't tested this with other controllers, as I only have Oculus
controllers for testing atm. But after reading about the HTC Vive controllers,
i did add a "steamvr_path" override for /input/menu -> /input/application_menu.

Also, a minor typo fix in steamvr_profiles.py as a bonus.

In our model we have a "subpath" for each hardware input like "/input/trackpad".
Each of these hardware inputs has "features" like "click", "touch", "position", "force".
Ideally each of these "features" is bound to some monado input in the "monado_bindings" dict
but this is not required. bindings.json will know about hardware features even if we don't bind them (yet).
For each of these features bindings.py generates a group of related paths for a single monado binding:
For a monado input XRT_INPUT_???_TRACKPAD these paths would be generated:
/user/hand/left/input/trackpad/x
/user/hand/left/input/trackpad/y
/user/hand/left/input/trackpad
Move json profile generator to auxiliary/bindings and make generated_bindings static library.
aux/bindings: Add hardware type
aux/bindings: Add various steamvr specific things to bindings
Paths like "/input/menu/click" are used in SteamVR input profiles.
