* 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).
* Make switching *back* to the default DPI via auto actually work
properly.
eg., by actually setting DPI back to defaults, and clearing the override
flag.
* Bump base to pickup https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1258
* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
* Enable AutoSuspend plugin on rM
Fix#6769
Re: #6028
* Use the PowerEvent handler on rM
It makes much more sense than the fire & forget & hope for the best
approach copied from the Kindle platform, because we *are* controlling
suspend ourselves (mostly), unlike on Kindle ;).
Fix#6676
* Enable HW inversion on the rM
I mean, we kinda forgot to ever test that, but I don't really see why it
wouldn't work ;).
* 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.
* 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.
* Allow locking the gyro to the current screen mode (i.e., orientation).
* Tweak the "sticky rota" option to work both ways
* More rotation constant usage instead of magic numbers
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
Touchscreen is mirrored in X & Y and has a different resolution from the eink panel.
Uses systemd for time/date/suspend/poweroff/reboot
Two systemd units for platform integration. button-listen is a very
simple launcher.
to-do: add support for wifi by implementing a wpa supplicant dbus client.

* Don't store stale screen/rotation modes in book's settings!
Gyro events *may* entirely bypass the local copy...
In any case, using a local copy was essentially asking for trouble...
Actually fix#5772
(because the issue was indeed that a Gyro swap from Portrait to Inverted
Portrait wasn't stored properly).
* Allow showing ScreenSavers in Inverted Portrait.
That works just fine, and won't lead to the confusing situation where a
lefty might pick up the device as a righty because the ScreenSaver
happens to be shown that way, only to have it rotate back to its lefty
orientation on wakeup...
* 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
* Make toggling Gyro events more robust
Actually ask to turn it on/off depending on the setting, instead of a
blind toggle
A quick succession of suspend/resume events could otherwise leave it
in an unexpected state (i.e., off when it should have been on).
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.

Either at all, or because it would impose reduced functionality.
Meaning:
* On 4bpp fb, because those are completely unsupported by the C BB
* On 24bpp fb, because it has limited support for that target format (no alpha blending).
* On 8bpp Linux eInk fb with an inverted palette (that's basically only the K4 ;)).
* On Linux eInk devices w/ no HW inversion support, as that would render NightMode inoperable.
That last point means that it's currently *always* blacklisted on PocketBook, because I don't have a PB device, so I don't know how safe HW inversion would be, meaning none of them are marked as being HW invert capable.
(I was a tiny bit hasty with https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/912 ;).)
* Make hasNaturalLight* caps safe to call without a device check. (fix#4919)
Make it clear that it's expecting the NTX implementation, though.
* Don't turn the FL on on resume if it was off on suspend
* Make sure turnOn/turnOff actually updates hw_intensity in the process where it matters, instead of just in a short lived fork ;). (fix#4923)
Companion PR to https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/884
* Basically flags devices known to be stable when using PxP inversion.
* Plus, random fix for #4870 ;).
* A few FrontLight tweaks & cleanups on Kobo:
* Moved the Kobo-specific startup status insanity to Kobo-specific init
* Made turnOff/turnOn frontlight do a smooth ramp down/up
* On Kobo, use turnOff/turnOn for suspend/resume, to get that smooth toggle
* On Kobo, for NaturalLight w/ a mixer, only set warmth for setWarmth, and only set Brightness for setBrightness, otherwise, it tried to set both with not in-sync values, which made the FL widget jittery.
