Some titles wait for a chord on their title screen: RollerCoaster Tycoon
Adventures Deluxe (PPSA17330) asks for L1 + R1. The command file already
carries a button bit field, but the helper accepted one name. Names joined
by '+' are now combined into one command; unknown names, duplicates and
release in a chord are rejected without touching the command file.

pad_timeline.py now takes its sequence from pad_input.next_sequence, and
pad_input.previous_sequence reads the sequence from an APS5_PAD_TIMELINE
header, so a pulse or timeline queued after a host reboot still exceeds
the sequence the runtime loaded from the existing command file.

APS5_PAD_INPUT_FILE commands can set bit 0x200000 or 0x400000 to put a
finger on the left or right half of the touchpad, as the TouchLeft and
TouchRight keys do, so scripted runs can press touchpad combinations.
tools/pad_input.py queues them as touch-left and touch-right.
