Unlike previous Xbox pads, the Xbox One pad doesn't have
"sticky" rumble packets. The duration is encoded into
the command and expiration is handled by the pad firmware.

ff-memless needs pseudo-sticky behavior for rumble effects
to behave properly for long duration effects. We already
specify the maximum rumble on duration in the command
packets, but it's still only good for about 2.5 seconds
of rumble. This is easily reproducable running fftest's
sine vibration test.

It turns out there's a repeat count encoded in the rumble
command. We can abuse that to get the pseudo-sticky behavior
needed for rumble to behave as expected for effects with long
duration.

By my math, this change should allow a single ff_effect to
rumble for 10 minutes straight, which should be more than
enough for most needs.
