Re: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/9806#issuecomment-1416827447
Depends on https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1576
Includes assorted cosmetics tweaks related to duplicate `setDirty` calls when instantiating widgets that already have an `onShow` handler doing it. (I left widgets doing it in `update` instead of `init` alone, on the assumption that callers *may* be relying on that behavior when updating widgets at runtime. This might actually never matter, and it certainly didn't for ScreenSaverWidget, which is why I removed it from there ;p).
Get rid of the doc & seqtext fields, as they are not actually used (nor
are they particularly useful, the event handler's name should be pretty
self-explanatory).
Also, tweak the key_events documentation to highlight the quirks of the
API, especially as far as array nesting is involved...
Random drive-by cleanup of the declarations of key_events & ges_events
to re-use the existing instance object (now that we know they're sane
;p) for tables with a single member (less GC pressure).
Basically:
* Use `extend` for class definitions
* Use `new` for object instantiations
That includes some minor code cleanups along the way:
* Updated `Widget`'s docs to make the semantics clearer.
* Removed `should_restrict_JIT` (it's been dead code since https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/283)
* Minor refactoring of LuaSettings/LuaData/LuaDefaults/DocSettings to behave (mostly, they are instantiated via `open` instead of `new`) like everything else and handle inheritance properly (i.e., DocSettings is now a proper LuaSettings subclass).
* Default to `WidgetContainer` instead of `InputContainer` for stuff that doesn't actually setup key/gesture events.
* Ditto for explicit `*Listener` only classes, make sure they're based on `EventListener` instead of something uselessly fancier.
* Unless absolutely necessary, do not store references in class objects, ever; only values. Instead, always store references in instances, to avoid both sneaky inheritance issues, and sneaky GC pinning of stale references.
* ReaderUI: Fix one such issue with its `active_widgets` array, with critical implications, as it essentially pinned *all* of ReaderUI's modules, including their reference to the `Document` instance (i.e., that was a big-ass leak).
* Terminal: Make sure the shell is killed on plugin teardown.
* InputText: Fix Home/End/Del physical keys to behave sensibly.
* InputContainer/WidgetContainer: If necessary, compute self.dimen at paintTo time (previously, only InputContainers did, which might have had something to do with random widgets unconcerned about input using it as a baseclass instead of WidgetContainer...).
* OverlapGroup: Compute self.dimen at *init* time, because for some reason it needs to do that, but do it directly in OverlapGroup instead of going through a weird WidgetContainer method that it was the sole user of.
* ReaderCropping: Under no circumstances should a Document instance member (here, self.bbox) risk being `nil`ed!
* Kobo: Minor code cleanups.
The hyphenation of a word can be changed from its default
by long pressing for 3 seconds and selecting 'Hyphenate'.
These overrides are stored in a per-language file, i.e:
koreader/settings/user-German.hyph.
That seems like a rather terrible idea to beign with, and that that may actually have fatal consequences.

2 new widgets:
- QRWidget, that's like an ImageWidget, but with a text property that will be converted to a QR code ;
- QRMessage, that's like an InfoMessage, but shows the message as QR code.
Moreover, it adds the ability to export QR codes to the text editor.
1 new plugin:
- Generate QR codes from clipboard
Changes to text editor plugin:
- Add the ability to export QR codes.
