if you don't know the wiring and I'll outline it for you); I think
there even exist DPDTs pre-cross-wired to be total no-brainers for this

Yes, there is such a thing as a 4-way switch in the standard
residential-light-switch-fits-in-a-wall-box-with-cover-plate style.
They are - obviously - sold in much smaller volume than the 2-way (SPST) or
3-way (SPDT) types so they are much more expensive (~$20 instead of ~$2). A
small hardware store probably won't have them, large places like Home Depot
probably do if you look in the right obscure corner, otherwise go to a
commercial electric parts supplier.
