src/filesystem/psp/SDL_sysfilesystem.c: In function 'SDL_GetPrefPath':
src/filesystem/psp/SDL_sysfilesystem.c:71: warning: passing argument 1 of 'free' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
SDL_GetBasePath grows its path buffer for long paths, but GetModuleFileNameExW always truncates and succeeds,
so `len` was always equal to (buflen - 1) which is 127. This is easily fixed by checking for (buflen - 1) instead of buflen.
For paths longer than MAX_PATH, this problem sometimes got hidden by Windows path shortening ("C:\PROGRA~1\" etc.).
Tested on Windows 10 x64 19041 and 10586.
Has been happening with testfilesystem from 2.0.6 and newer because
of commit 572a721879ef.
Also set error strings in certain error conditions.
Also applied coding style / whitespace fixes, while I was there.

Unlike iOS and macOS, tvOS does not have any persistent local storage. In fact, the ApplicationSupport directory pointed to by the existing Cocoa GetPrefPath() throws an error whenever any attempt is made to access it. To get any local storage on an Apple TV, our only option is to use a temporary cache directory.
This patch changes the tvOS PrefPath to this cache directory and also logs a critical warning that this if developers want their save data to persist across game sessions, they must use some form of iCloud storage.
SDL now builds with gcc 7.2 with the following command line options:
-Wall -pedantic-errors -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-overlength-strings --std=c99

we use SDL_GetPrefPath() in Chocolate Doom to get a reasonable directory to save and restore config files and savegames:
https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom/blob/sdl2-branch/src/m_config.c#L2162
However, since there is no "organization" behind Chocolate Doom and there is really only one "product" called Chocolate Doom, we pass an empty string for the org parameter and the package string for app.
This leads to two consecutive slashes in the path returned by SDL_GetPrefPath() like this:
/home/user/.local/share//chocolate-doom/
While this is harmless, it sure looks bad.
I believe that it should be possible to either pass a NULL pointer for the org parameter or at least have the function detect an empty string as a means to express "there is no origanization, just a single product". The generation of the path string to be returned by the function will have to get adapted accordingly.
