Re: [w3c/gamepad] id field in gamepad might have a persistent identifier? (#73)

Splitting `id` into `vendor` and `productId` would help with the interoperability/consistency concern. Marking the fields as optional and making it clear to sites that they may not be present would help with the privacy concern. Even the example Reddit thread showing a particular vendor's gamepad image in the control-setting UI includes people discussing the fact that sometimes (for example, Windows 10 and XInput) a generic controller will be used.
