Add Support for iPhone/iPad internal motion sensor

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When building from source (the commit is yet to be added into the build on the App Store), you can access the DS4/DS5 gyro and acceleration sensor and use it for a virtual DS4 Controller in Sunshine (nightly). However, there are controllers, whose motion input is not supported (Switch Pro Controller) or who don't have a dedicated motion sensor ("Switch Style" iPhone Gamepads like the Razer Kishi for example). In that case, no motion data is transferred.
Describe the solution you'd like
Offering a fallback if no motion input is exposed by the iOS Controller API would seem a pretty straightforward solution. That way, the iPhone's own acceleration and gyro would be used, thus removing the need for a separate controller with motion control (Steam Link does this as well, but for some reason, its FPS performance is way worse than Sunshine/Moonlight, although my system should handle it just fine. Plus Sunshine offers HDR)
As motion has been added to the stable channels of Sunshine and Moonlight, I'd like to push this issue/request. Maybe one could have a toggle to choose which gyro to use, just like it's the case with the on screen controller buttons. Something like
Gyro
(Controller (if available) | Phone | Auto | Off)
