Much easier to deal with thanks to the cleanup work done in #10062 ;).
* `carrier` is set to 1 as soon as the device is *administratively* up (in practice, as soon as we run `ifconfig up`). This is perfectly fine for `isWifiOn`, but absolutely not for `isConnected`, because we are not, actually, connected to *anything*, no attempt at associating has even been made at that point. Besides being semantically wrong, in practice, this will horribly break the connectivity check, because it expects that `isConnected` means we can talk to at least the LAN.
* Delving into the Linux docs reveals that `operstate` looks like a better candidate, as it reflects *operational status*; for Wi-Fi, that means associated and successfully authenticated. That's... closer, but still not it, because we still don't have an IP, so we technically can't talk to anything other than the AP.
* So, I've brought out the big guns (`getifaddrs`), and replicated a bit of code that I already use in the USBNetwork hack on Kindle, to detect whether we actually have an IP assigned. (Other approaches, like `/proc/net/route`, may not be entirely fool-proof, and/or get complicated when IPv6 enters the fray (which it does, on Kobo, Mk. 8+ devices are IPv6-enabled)).
TL;DR: Bunch of C via ffi, and `isConnected` now returns true only when the device is operationally up *and* we have an IP assigned.

cervantes kindle kobo remarkable: use sysfs carrier file to determine connection state
cleanup hasWifiManager checks
gateway check: use ip if available
Fixes: #10087Closes: #10092
isWifiOn for kindle currently returns if the interface is connected, change this to doing what is says isWifiOn the file is only present if the wireless interface is up.
isConnected pings the gateway, rely on the kernel for a more reliable check.
Whan connecting to my android phone's wifi hotspot to remote debug from my phone, the network is connected yet the phone(gateway) does not respond to pings leading koreader to shut down the connection thinking it is unsuccessful
* UIManager: Support more specialized update modes for corner-cases:
* A2, which we'll use for the VirtualKeyboards keys (they'd... inadvertently switched to UI with the highlight refactor).
* NO_MERGE variants of ui & partial (for sunxi). Use `[ui]` in ReaderHighlight's popup, because of a Sage kernel bug that could otherwise make it translucent, sometimes completely so (*sigh*).
* UIManager: Assorted code cleanups & simplifications.
* Logger & dbg: Unify logging style, and code cleanups.
* SDL: Unbreak suspend/resume outside of the emulator (fix#9567).
* NetworkMgr: Cache the network status, and allow it to be queried. (Used by AutoSuspend to avoid repeatedly poking the system when computing the standby schedule delay).
* OneTimeMigration: Don't forget about `NETWORK_PROXY` & `STARDICT_DATA_DIR` when migrating `defaults.persistent.lua` (fix#9573)
* WakeupMgr: Workaround an apparent limitation of the RTC found on i.MX5 Kobo devices, where setting a wakealarm further than UINT16_MAX seconds in the future would apparently overflow and wraparound... (fix#8039, many thanks to @yfede for the extensive deep-dive and for actually accurately pinpointing the issue!).
* Kobo: Handle standby transitions at full CPU clock speeds, in order to limit the latency hit.
* UIManager: Properly quit on reboot & exit. This ensures our exit code is preserved, as we exit on our own terms (instead of being killed by the init system). This is important on platforms where exit codes are semantically meaningful (e.g., Kobo).
* UIManager: Speaking of reboot & exit, make sure the Screensaver shows in all circumstances (e.g., autoshutdown, re: #9542)), and that there aren't any extraneous refreshes triggered. (Additionally, fix a minor regression since #9448 about tracking this very transient state on Kobo & Cervantes).
* Kindle: ID the upcoming Scribe.
* Bump base (https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1524)
* This removes support for the following deprecated constants: `DTAP_ZONE_FLIPPING`, `DTAP_ZONE_BOOKMARK`, `DCREREADER_CONFIG_DEFAULT_FONT_GAMMA`
* The "Advanced settings" panel now highlights modified values in bold (think about:config in Firefox ;)).
* LuaData: Isolate global table lookup shenanigans, and fix a few issues in unused-in-prod codepaths.
* CodeStyle: Require module locals for Lua/C modules, too.
* ScreenSaver: Actually garbage collect our widget on close (ScreenSaver itself is not an instantiated object).
* DateTimeWidget: Code cleanups to ensure child widgets can be GC'ed.
If we had a local prefered AP with a higher RSSI,
we attempted to associate with it over wpa_supplicant
being already attempting to associate with its own preferred AP.
That... failed horribly.
Also adapt to the new lj-wpaclient API, fixing a few other edge-cases,
and making the whole thing slightly faster because we no longer
uselessly sleep.
And more reliable because we now actually wait for replies to our
requests.
Bump base

successful authentication.
Fully tearing down Wi-Fi was a bit optimistic, as the AP list can
technically still be up, so the user might want to try again and/or
connect to another AP.
Fix#5912, regression since #4616.
The reasoning behind #4616 doesn't really apply anymore anyway, as the
Wi-Fi prompt now handles this inconsistent state properly.
The whole codepath should be *extremely* rare anyway (and/or require
super-broken network conditions).
* Hold "Wi-Fi connection" to show network connection options.
* Honor backend connections (e.g., if wpa_supplicant found a matching AP in its own config first).
* When user clicks "Wi-Fi connection" in menu, only prompt if state is ambiguous.
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Updated readSetting API to allow proper initialization to default.
Use it to initialize tables, e.g., fixing corner-cases in readerFooter that could prevent settings from being saved.
(Fixes an issue reported on Gitter).
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Add simpler API than the the flip* ones to toggle boolean settings.
* Update LuaSettings/DocSettigns usage throughout the codebase to use the dedicated boolean methods wher appropriate, and clean up some of the more mind-bending uses.
* FileChooser: Implement an extended default exclusion list (fix#2360)
* ScreenSaver: Refactor to avoid the pile of kludges this was threatening to become. Code should be easier to follow and use, and fallbacks now behave as expected (fix#4418).
If we're in range of multiple known WiFi Access Points (including multiple instances of the same SSID), we don't need to keep trying to connect after the first successful connection.
Minimal change would have been replacing the return inside the foreach function with return [a non-nil value].
But foreach is deprecated, and since I was touching the code anyhow, I figured I'd do that tiny update as well.
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
bidi.lua:
- Revert "Alias everything to Bidi.nowrap() when in LTR UI,
as using LTR isolates seems uneeded when already LTR" (part
of a628714f) which was a wrong assumption: we need proper
wrappers for all things paths. Enhance some of these wrappers.
- Fix GetText RTL wrapping which was losing empty lines and
trailing \n.
- Wrap all paths, directories, filenames in the code with
these wrappers.
- Wrap all book metadata (title, authors...) with BD.auto(),
as it helps fixing some edge cases (like open/close quotation
marks which are not considered as bracket types by FriBiDi).
(Needed some minor logic changes in CoverBrowser.)
- Tweak hyphenation menu text
- Update forgotten SortWidget for UI mirroring
- KoptConfig: update "justification" index for RTL re-ordering,
following the recent addition of the page_gap_height option.
Thanks to <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/5237> we can now extract the knowledge currently embedded in Transifex and put it directly in our source. This positively affects <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/3754>.
Translation instructions and knowledge that comes out of localization-related questions should be preserved in the source, because Transifex is too ephemeral. For example, the links from <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/2290> are no longer accessible. Even when they are, it's quite useful to have this information around while dealing with the code as well, and I also hope it'll be informative to contributors who seldom visit Transifex.
This commit also makes a few minor changes to obviate the need for comments where possible.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
* Try to make sure restoreWifiAsync eventually sends a NetworkConnected
event...
re: #5109
* Take a page from @shermp's book, and make sure wpa_supplicant managed to
connect to the AP before acquiring an IP.
Tear down WiFi modules in case of failure.
c.f., https://github.com/shermp/Kobo-UNCaGED/pull/21
* Don't let restore-wifi-async.sh enable WiFi behind our back when we're
killing it to start Nickel...
* Don't even call ping if there's no default gw
For some mysterious reason, I have a duplicate default gateway on my
Forma, one with no metrics, and a proper one.
This ensures we pick the proper one.
I'm fairly sure this is temporary insanity on the part of my device,
but, still, it can't hurt.

Partially resolves#4747. Will enable switching Wi-Fi on/off in the menu and getting the network status. However, a new Wi-Fi session lasts ~100 seconds and then terminates automatically, apparently, to save the energy. I believe it can be prolonged by some networking activity. Also it is not shut down if the auto suspension is disabled.
* Double-checks that the connection was successful, and forcefully kills WiFi if it didn't, to avoid leaving stuff in an inconsistent state.
Should fix#2183
* Limit the turnOffWifi call to devices where it might make some sense to
do
* On Kobo, kill WiFi on startup if we detect an inconsistent state...
Untested, not terribly pretty.
The other solution is to slow down the Wi-Fi meny by doing the same
check for the "Wi-Fi connection" checkbox as in the later wifi_status
one...
* Don't enable auto_restore_wifi by default
It's liable to silently murder batteries for no good reason, given that
we prompt to enable WiFi by default when needed, and we otherwise have
no actual need to keep WiFi on in the background.
re #2215 (in particular, this directly contradicts @houqp in
https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/2215#discussion_r74696133 ;)).
Defines new function reconnectOrShowNetworkMenu(), which iterates over
available networks ordered by signal power, and check if we can connect
to saved SSIDs. If we can, then skip network list dialog.
TouchMenu: added options to menu items with the following defaults:
keep_menu_open = false
hold_keep_menu_open = true
So, default for Tap callback is to close menu, and for Hold callback
to keep menu open.
In both cases, provide the TouchMenu instance as the 1st argument to
the callback functions (instead of a refresh_menu_func I added in #3941)
so the callback can do more things, like closing, refreshing,
changing menu items text and re-ordering...
ReaderZooming: show symbol for default (like it was done for
ReaderFont, ReaderHyphenation...)
TextEditor plugin: update the previously opened files list in real
time, so the menu can be kept open and used as the TextEditor main
interface.
SSH plugin: keep menu open and update the Start/Stop state in real time
ReadTimer plugin: tried to do what feels right (but I don't use it)
Also remove forgotten cp in the move/paste file code
