`SDL_GetGlobalMouseState` and `SDL_GetWindowPosition` inconsistency still present on Emscripten

Follow up from #12667.

This still seems to be broken for me after merging both #12669 and #12575. The relative mouse position is reported incorrectly -- see this GIF:

This is my logic:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Vector2i getPosition()
{
    Vector2f result;
    SDL_GetGlobalMouseState(&result.x, &result.y);
    return result.toVector2i();
}


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Vector2i getPosition(const WindowBase& relativeTo)
{
    return getPosition() - relativeTo.getPosition();
//                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//                       uses SDL_GetWindowPosition() internally 
}

@Temdog007: my guess here is that SDL_GetWindowPosition is not returning the correct position of the canvas relative to the parent web page shell, but I might be incorrect.

A call to SDL_SyncWindow is necessary to ensure that the window position is sync'd with position in the DOM.

Calling SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_VIDEO_SYNC_WINDOW_OPERATIONS, "1"); before calling SDL_Init will ensure that the window position is always sync'd after the position or size of the window changes.

The functions in SDL where this occurs:

• SDL_SetWindowFullscreenMode
• SDL_SetWindowPosition
• SDL_SetWindowSize
• SDL_MaximizeWindow
• SDL_MinimizeWindow
• SDL_RestoreWindow
• SDL_SetWindowFullscreen

If the canvas is moved outside of SDL, the window position won't be sync'd without explicitly calling SDL_SyncWindow.

Even with SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_VIDEO_SYNC_WINDOW_OPERATIONS, "1") I am getting inconsistent results. When I open the browser at first, the relative position is screwed up as usual. If I resize the window once, the position seems to fix itself, but stops being correct again as soon as I resize the browser window.

Is there a chance I am doing something wrong? How can I debug this and figure out what is the culprit?

So, calling SDL_SetHint before SDL_Init doesn't work, but calling SDL_SyncWindow every frame does. I will experiment further.
