* In icons mode, just use two different icons to display Wi-Fi status
* Enable Wi-Fi status icon on Kobo & Cervantes, too
* Refresh footer on (dis)connect if the Wi-Fi status item is enabled
The differences between Allwinner/MXC matter surprisingly little in practice, it's not even worth
it to bother the base mxc driver with it. Instead, frontend can make some informed choice by
probing for the hardware and tweaking requested device caps accordingly.
On Allwinner B288, we disable both hwrot (done in software in kernel and terribly, ie not worth it)
and hwinverse (no support whatsoever). On NXT we'll keep both on, as the kernel driver seems
to be using the hardware properly .
CBB now handles nightmode correctly (by deferring to Lua), so we no longer
need to do monkey dances about disabling it when hw invert is missing.
canUseCBB cap is resolved by generic device re-configuring blitbuffer
on the go, so as to avoid repeating the same thing in every device driver.
The dev setting can now flip cbb on the go, so one can gloat at the near
meaningless perf difference - 2Mp draw is 15ms Lua / 10ms C on 1GHz Cortex A7.
* Uses bunch of new plumbing in base to configure screen rotations in hardware (koreader normally does this via blit buffer rotations, except for android).
* Some PB specific kludges that used to pollute core/framebuffer_linux are brought into PBs frontend driver.
move state change event to higher level function so it will be called after powerd.is_fl_on is updated.
makes _setIntensity redundant so get rid of it

A BackgroundRunner plugin instance will stop running
(rescheduling a check every 2 seconds) when there is no
(or no more) job to run.
Clients of this service now have to emit an event after
adding a job into PluginShare.backgroundJobs, so an
already loaded but stopped BackgroundRunner can notice
it and start running again.
Out of the box, it behaves exactly as native pocketbook apps should, ie aggressive
standby, but no freezing at operations in progress.
Config UI will be done via koplugin that will also do adaptive standby. This is
because the API is now device independent (albeit PB is the only implemented user).
* Add an option to *always* flash on chapter boundaries
* Optionally, in flash on chapter boundaries mode, also flash on the *second* page of a chapter.
(There's often a large river at the top of the page on a chapter's first page)
* In CRe, request a flashing update when there is significant image content on the page.
* Register all refresh rate related options in Dispatcher, making them available in Gestures & Profiles.
* deduplicate code on warmth/brightness swipes
if device has a small scale (e.g. warmth is going from 0..10)
* adjust warmth message
* use a smaller gesture sensitivity
Add Set Frontlight/Set Frontlight warmth events to dispatcher. This allows users to set day/night profiles with different fl/warmth values as requested in #6444
* 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.
