Input.action_press() accepts and sets action state to out-of-bounds strength values

[wlsnmrk]

Tested versions

Reproducible in v4.1.1.stable.mono.official [bd6af8e], v4.2.1.stable.mono.official [b09f793], v4.3.dev.mono.custom_build [7d151c8]

System information

Godot v4.2.1.stable.mono - Windows 10.0.22631

Issue description

Input.action_press() should only accept values for its strength parameter between 0 and 1, and likewise Input.get_action_strength() should only return values between 0 and 1. The analogous InputEventAction.strength property is correctly clamped between 0 and 1, and cannot be set outside that range.

However, Input.action_press() does not bounds-check the strength parameter, and if passed a value greater than 1, sets the action state to an out-of-bounds value, causing Input.get_action_strength() to return the same out-of-bounds value. In v4.1, values less than 0 are also accepted into action state.

Illustrative screenshot of the MRP (running in v4.2), which shows the correct behavior of the InputEventAction.strength property as well as the bug in Input.action_press():

Steps to reproduce

See attached MRP, or do:

Input.action_press("test_action", 2.0)
print(str(Input.get_action_strength("test_action"))

For v4.1, Input.action_press("test_action", -1.0) will also produce incorrect output.
