XBox Dongle Discontinued/Bluetooth Controller Upgrade

[idgaron]

The Github mentions using an xbox controller with the xbox usb dongle to connect bluetooth over usb instead of the internal bluetooth; however, this dongle is discontinued by Microsoft. A better alternative would be to use a bluetooth module. This will allow users to use any bluetooth controller by switching the bluetooth interface of the pi from the UART lines to the USB lines. I have successfully used this on my rover build. Thoughts?

Even if Microsoft discontinues their lineup, there's always a huge aftermarket. I believe they all use bluetooth anyways. 8bitdo makes good ones as well. PRs welcome!

True - I was thinking for supply chain longevity's sake. I'll add the bluetooth module suggestion as another option but leave the xbox dongle in the instructions too.
