* ReaderDictionary: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderHighlight: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderView: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Android: Reset gesture detection state on APP_CMD_TERM_WINDOW.
This prevents potentially being stuck in bogus gesture states when switching apps.
* GestureDetector:
* Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Fixed delay computations to handle time warps (large and negative deltas).
* Simplified timed callback handling to invalidate timers much earlier, preventing accumulating useless timers that no longer have any chance of ever detecting a gesture.
* Fixed state clearing to handle the actual effective slots, instead of hard-coding slot 0 & slot 1.
* Simplified timed callback handling in general, and added support for a timerfd backend for better performance and accuracy.
* The improved timed callback handling allows us to detect and honor (as much as possible) the three possible clock sources usable by Linux evdev events.
The only case where synthetic timestamps are used (and that only to handle timed callbacks) is limited to non-timerfd platforms where input events use
a clock source that is *NOT* MONOTONIC.
AFAICT, that's pretty much... PocketBook, and that's it?
* Input:
* Use the <linux/input.h> FFI module instead of re-declaring every constant
* Fixed (verbose) debug logging of input events to actually translate said constants properly.
* Completely reset gesture detection state on suspend. This should prevent bogus gesture detection on resume.
* Refactored the waitEvent loop to make it easier to comprehend (hopefully) and much more efficient.
Of specific note, it no longer does a crazy select spam every 100µs, instead computing and relying on sane timeouts,
as afforded by switching the UI event/input loop to the MONOTONIC time base, and the refactored timed callbacks in GestureDetector.
* reMarkable: Stopped enforcing synthetic timestamps on input events, as it should no longer be necessary.
* TimeVal:
* Refactored and simplified, especially as far as metamethods are concerned (based on <bsd/sys/time.h>).
* Added a host of new methods to query the various POSIX clock sources, and made :now default to MONOTONIC.
* Removed the debug guard in __sub, as time going backwards can be a perfectly normal occurrence.
* New methods:
* Clock sources: :realtime, :monotonic, :monotonic_coarse, :realtime_coarse, :boottime
* Utility: :tonumber, :tousecs, :tomsecs, :fromnumber, :isPositive, :isZero
* UIManager:
* Ported event loop & scheduling to TimeVal, and switched to the MONOTONIC time base.
This ensures reliable and consistent scheduling, as time is ensured never to go backwards.
* Added a :getTime() method, that returns a cached TimeVal:now(), updated at the top of every UI frame.
It's used throughout the codebase to cadge a syscall in circumstances where we are guaranteed that a syscall would return a mostly identical value,
because very few time has passed.
The only code left that does live syscalls does it because it's actually necessary for accuracy,
and the only code left that does that in a REALTIME time base is code that *actually* deals with calendar time (e.g., Statistics).

* BookInfoManager: Removed unnecessary yield in the metadata extraction subprocess now that subprocesses get scheduled properly.
* All in all, these changes reduced the CPU cost of a single tap by a factor of ten (!), and got rid of an insane amount of weird poll/wakeup cycles that must have been hell on CPU schedulers and batteries..
* Simplify flash_ui handling (by handling the unhighlight pre-callback, c.f., #7262 for more details).
* UIManager: Handle translucent window-level widgets (and those wrapped in a translucent MovableContainer) properly in setDirty directly, making sure what's *underneath* them gets repainted to avoid alpha layering glitches. (This was previously handled via localized hacks).
* Update UIManager's documentation, and format it properly for ldoc parsing, making the HTML docs more useful.
* ReaderView: Reinitialize the various page areas when opening a new document, to prevent poisoning from the previous document.
* Event: Handle nils in an event's arguments.
* CheckButton/RadioButton: Switch to simple inversion to handle highlighting
* CheckButton: Make the highlight span the inner frame's width, instead of just the text's width, if possible.
* AlphaContainer: Fix & simplify, given the UIManager alpha handling.
* MovableContainer: When translucent, cache the canvas bb used for composition.
* Avoid spurious refreshes in a few widgets using various dummy *TextWidgets in order to first compute a text height.
* KeyValuePage: Avoid floats in size computations.
* QuickDictLookup, ImageViewer, NumberPicker: Smarter `update` that will re-use most of the widget's layout instead of re-instantiating all the things.
* SpinWidget/DoubleSpinWidget: The NumberPicker change above renders a hack to preserve alpha on these widgets almost unnecessary. Also fixed said hack to also apply to the center, value button.
* Button: Don't re-instantiate the frame in setText/setIcon when unnecessary (e.g., no change at all, or no layout change).
* Button: Add a refresh method that repaints and refreshes a *specific* Button (provided it's been painted once) all on its lonesome.
* ConfigDialog: Free everything that's going to be re-instatiated on update
* A few more post #7118 fixes:
* SkimTo: Always flag the chapter nav buttons as vsync
* Button: Fix the highlight on rounded buttons when vsync is enabled (e.g., it's now entirely visible, instead of showing a weird inverted corner glitch).
* Some more heuristic tweaks in Menu/TouchMenu/Button/IconButton
* ButtonTable: fix the annoying rounding issue I'd noticed in #7054 ;).
* Enable dithering in TextBoxWidget (e.g., in the Wikipedia full view). This involved moving the HW dithering align fixup to base, where it always ought to have been ;).
* Switch a few widgets that were using "partial" on close to "ui", or, more rarely, "flashui". The intent being to limit "partial" purely to the Reader, because it has a latency cost when mixed with other refreshes, which happens often enough in UI ;).
* Minor documentation tweaks around UIManager's `setDirty` to reflect that change.
* ReaderFooter: Force a footer repaint on resume if it is visible (otherwise, just update it).
* ReaderBookmark: In the same vein, don't repaint an invisible footer on bookmark count changes.
* Fix HW dithered partial refreshes sometimes behaving as if the refreshed
content had moved a few pixels to the side...
Probably a kernel issue with the alignment fixup in the EPDC?
* Get rid of the legacy coordinates fixup
It shouldn't be necessary anymore.
And I'd rather fix the root cause, anyway.
* Bump base
(https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1116)
* Missed a few DIVs in #6224
Don't display a tofu glyph when meeting a tab (none of
our fonts have a glyph for it).
New parameter: TextBoxWidget.tabstop_nb_space_width,
that defaults to 8, to ensure tabstops in the usual
left aligmnent (or right when para is RTL).
Ellipsis was sometimes not displayed when text is right aligned,
because width was not updated with ellipsis size.
bump base/xtext: fix truncation ellipsis position in bidi text
so it stays nearer to previous logical order char, instead of
sometimes being thrown away to start or end of line.
- bump crengine: (Upstream) DocX: fix paragraphs with single hyperlink
- bump fribidi to 1.0.8 (for nested isolates fix)
- xtext.makeLine(): return no_allowed_break_met=true when that
happens, so we know the line breaks inside a word.
TextBoxWidget: add forgotten property (when use_xtext=true) when no
line break opportunity was found: has_split_inside_word=true.
(Only used by CoverBrowser Mosaic mode to make nicer text covers
by reducing font size when that happens.)
A few fixes and enhancement related to bold text:
- When using bold=true with a regular font, use its bold
variant if one exists (can be prevented by manually
adding a setting: "use_bold_font_for_bold" = false).
- When using a bold font without bold=true, promote bold
to true, so fallback fonts are drawn bold too.
- Whether using a bold font, or using bold=true, ensure
fallback fonts are drawn bold, with their available bold
variant if one exists, or with synthetized bold.
- When using a bold variant of a fallback font, keep using
the regular variant as another fallback (as bold fonts
may contain less glyphs than their regular counterpart).
- Allow providing bold=Font.FORCE_SYNTHETIZED_BOLD to
get synth bold even when a bold font exists (might be
interesting to get text in bold the same width as the
same text non-bold).
- Use the font realname in the key when caching glyphs,
instead of our aliases (cfont, infont...) to avoid
duplication and wasting memory.
- height_adjust: if true, reduce height to a multiple of
line_height (for nicer centering)
- height_overflow_show_ellipsis: if height overflow, append
ellipsis to last shown line
(Implemented in both use_xtext and legacy code path.)
Use them in Menu.lua to clean up/shorten the code used for multiline
menu items by delegating the work to TextBoxWidget, or using
TextWidget when we end up needing only a single line.
Alternative code to size, split lines and draw text with
the help of the xtext Lua C module.
Enabled by default (can be disabled via an added menu
item in "Developer options").
New properties can be specified by calling widgets, only
used when xtext is used:
- lang: use specified language instead of the UI language
- para_direction_rtl: true/false to override the default
direction for the UI language
- auto_para_direction: detect direction of each paragraph
in text
- alignment_strict: prevent the inversion of the specified
alignment= that is done when a paragraph direction is
set or detected as RTL.
Also: fix possible memory leak (present even when not using xtext)
by calling :free() in onCloseWidget() like it's done in ImageWidget.
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
* Fix the "Enable debug logging" checkbox so that it properly disables "Enable verbose debug logging" when it gets disabled
* Avoid asking ImageWidget for alpha-blending when it's not useful
* Make ImageWidget's alpha-blending code-path double-check that alpha-blending actually is needed, and avoid it if possible
* In the same vein, only do alpha-blending in textboxwidget when absolutely necessary
* Prefer color constants over the gray() method, ensuring that they're part of the eInk palette

Feature of ScrollTextWidget, only used for now by TextEditor.
Pan is like Swipe, but wait a bit at end of gesture to release:
the line on which Pan was started will be moved to where Pan is
released.
May conflict with MovableContainer (so not enabled for DictQuickLookup,
where it could have been nice - but it would work only with text
dictionaries, not with HTML ones, as ScrollHtmlWidget can't really
do that).
InputText, ScrollTextWidget, TextBoxWidget:
- proper line scrolling when moving cursor or inserting/deleting text
to behave like most text editors do
- fix cursor navigation, optimize refreshes when moving only the cursor,
don't recreate the textwidget when moving cursor up/down
- optimize refresh areas, stick to "ui" to avoid a "partial" black
flash every 6 appended or deleted chars
InputText:
- fix issue when toggling Show password multiple times
- new option: InputText.cursor_at_end (default: true)
- if no InputText.height provided, measure the text widget height
that we would start with, and use a ScrollTextWidget with that
fixed height, so widget does not overflow container if we extend
the text and increase the number of lines
- as we are using "ui" refreshes while text editing, allows refreshing
the InputText with a diagonal swipe on it (actually, refresh the
whole screen, which allows refreshing the keyboard too if needed)
ScrollTextWidget:
- properly align scrollbar with its TextBoxWidget
TextBoxWidget:
- some cleanup (added new properties to avoid many method calls), added
proxy methods for upper widgets to get them
- reordered/renamed/refactored the *CharPos* methods for easier reading
(sorry for the diff that won't help reviewing, but that was needed)
InputDialog:
- new options:
allow_newline = false, -- allow entering new lines
cursor_at_end = true, -- starts with cursor at end of text, ready to append
fullscreen = false, -- adjust to full screen minus keyboard
condensed = false, -- true will prevent adding air and balance between elements
add_scroll_buttons = false, -- add scroll Up/Down buttons to first row of buttons
add_nav_bar = false, -- append a row of page navigation buttons
- find the most adequate text height, when none provided or fullscreen, to
not overflow screen (and not be stuck with Cancel/Save buttons hidden)
- had to disable the use of a MovableContainer (many issues like becoming
transparent when a PathChooser comes in front, Hold to paste from
clipboard, moving the InputDialog under the keyboard and getting stuck...)
GestureRange: fix possible crash (when event processed after widget
destruction ?)
LoginDialog: fix some ui stack increase and possible crash when switching
focus many times.
Some Hold and move (hold on title and move away from it) would not work.
Pan (=swipe with hold at end) while selecting text would move the
window (it now does nothing: proper text selection still needs Hold
on word at start).
Also increase hold duration from 2s to 3s (for switching lookup
between dict/wikipedia) to be consistent with the 3s duration in
readerhighlight.
(each one at top right of each page)
Such images can be loaded dynamically when the display of a page requires it.
Allow alternating between the image and its title with Tap on it.
Allow for viewing this image zoomed in ImageViewer with Hold on it.
DictQuickLookup: add generic support for result.images, that
could optionally be provided in Wikipedia lookup results.
util.isSplitable() accepts now also the previous char to help
decide if a space can be used to split a line.
TextBoxWidget:_splitCharWidthList() : simplified logic
util: made isSplitable() accept an optional next_char
for wiser decision
textboxwidget: speed up rendering, enhanced text wrapping,
allow selection of multiple words with Hold.
scrolltextwidget: allow scrolling with Tap.
