Remove gamepadshift module

[deshipu]

Everything should be using the keypad module instead.

Note: there are several boards that still had gamepadshift enabled. I
did not contact their authors to make sure they already switched to
keypad in their code and documentation. We should probably wait with
merging this for their go ahead.

• Fixes Remove gamepadshift in 8.0.0 #5492

[dhalbert]

We were going to do this when we started on 8.0.0. We haven't yet made a 7.x branch yet, so we will keep main compatible for a while. There is no 8.0.0 issue for removing gamepadshift yet, but there should be.

[dhalbert]

@deshipu OK to make this a draft until then?

[deshipu]

Of course, how do I do that?

Hi @deshipu We are ready to merge this now. main is now for 8.0.0 development. Do you have time to fix the merge conflicts?

[deshipu]

@dhalbert I'm sorry, I get way more circuitpython-related notifications from github than I am able to read in my free time, so messages like this just fly by me. I rebased it now.

Hi, one rebase/mergish change

[tekktrik]

Is this imminent? I know two Learn guides that still use it, been on my radar to move them to keypad ahead of time, so just want to know!

It will be in 8.0.0-alpha.x. It is not a change to 7.3.x, so it will not affect the Learn Guide code until 8.0.0 final is released, which will be some time from now.

For some reason, I don't have the option to allow changes to pull requests:

Great, thank you!
