Subject: [PATCH] test: Don't assert that SDL_hid_enumerate doesn't set error
 (#269)

On my Linux system, enumeration succeeds, but the error indicator gets
set as a side-effect (which appears to be because the loader checks
whether the symbol exists in SDL or a direct dependency before it
dlopens libudev).

The API of SDL_hid_enumerate does not make it possible to distinguish
between successfully returning an empty list of devices (returns NULL
with the error indicator in an undefined state) and a failure (returns
NULL with the error indicator set), and systems that run automated tests
usually don't have any HID game controllers connected, so we can't make
any meaningful use of the error indicator here.
