* Iterate over varargs directly via select if possible
* Use table.pack otherwise (https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1535).
* This allows us to simplify a few Logger calls, as logger now handles nil values.
* Persist: support serpent, and use by default over dump (as we assume consistency > readability in Persist).
* Logger/Dbg: Use serpent instead of dump to dump tables (it's slightly more compact, honors __tostring, and will tag tables with their ref, which can come in handy when debugging).
* Dbg: Don't duplicate Logger's log function, just use it directly.
* Fontlist/ConfigDialog: Use serpent for the debug dump.
* Call `os.setlocale(C, "numeric")` on startup instead of peppering it around dump calls. It's process-wide, so it didn't make much sense.
* Trapper: Use LuaJIT's serde facilities instead of dump. They're more reliable in the face of funky input, much faster, and in this case, the data never makes it to human eyes, so a human-readable format didn't gain us anything.
* 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)
