After investigating our implementation in `CocoaGamepad.cpp`, we should add an another type for `kMultiAxisUsage: 0x08`[1], but it still doesn't work for Xbox controllers, I can't get its `DeviceAddedCallback`.

It looks like Xbox gamepads in MacOS are no longer to be able to use `IOHIDDevice` to query devices. We need to consider to register `IOService` and use `IOServiceAddMatchingNotification` [1] to listen new devices be added.
