Pull request overview

This PR updates the Yocto packaging for libmanette to remove the bundled game controller database from the OSS-layer libmanette recipe, aligning with the stated goal of managing the database from the middleware (MW) layer instead.

Changes:

• Removed gamecontrollerdb from libmanette_0.2.6.bb SRC_URI and do_install() so it’s no longer installed/packaged by libmanette.
• Deleted recipes-extended/libmanette/libmanette/gamecontrollerdb from this layer.

• PR description says the game controller database was “moved to MW layer”, but this PR only removes it from the libmanette recipe and deletes the file; there’s no corresponding addition of a new provider recipe or dependency wiring in this repo. If the actual move happens in a different repo/PR, please reference it here (or include the new MW-layer recipe changes) so it’s clear how the DB will continue to be delivered to images.
