Bug Description
Right now the root preferences node is blank. We should provide some help content in there:
* Links to Controller forums
* Links to the Wiki for hardware compatibility
* Buttons to open the personal or system mappings folder (Bug #1296951 )
* Import/export preset? (Bug #723028 and Bug #1296952 )
What else?

Can we make Preferences tree view resizable so we could select the correct controller in the first place? Currently, a controller name is cut off after 10 chars. Many controllers are listed multiple times because they provide multiple ports.
Also, can we take the chance to fine-tune the wording?
If no forum/ wiki link is found, we print "Support: No support available". Some users have mistakenly understood the information as if their device itself is not supported.
