psx_mod_read_local_pad_sticks(player, out[4]) returns the mapped local
stick axes (lx, ly, rx, ry; 0..255, centre 128) without touching the
SIO sample, so a presentation plugin (a look-around camera) can read the
right stick even when the game selected a digital pad. It returns 0 and
centred axes for an invalid or disconnected player, in netplay, and
during rollback resimulation; peer input is never presentation input.
The debug-server axis override feeds it for deterministic tests.
