Subject: [PATCH] Add 'compatibility mode' option to use VIVE tracker input
 profile

SteamVR only exposes trackers through XR_HTCX_vive_tracker_interaction
when their Prop_ControllerType_String is `vive_tracker_[role]`, but if
we set that in our input profile unconditionally, it will bring back the
'no bindings' popup on Vive Tracker (Chest) for everyone, so just add an
option gated behind 'Advanced Settings' to use the VIVE tracker profile.
