* 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)

Main features
-
portable: runs on embedded devices (Cervantes, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook, reMarkable), Android and Linux computers. Developers can run a KOReader emulator in Linux and MacOS.
-
multi-format documents: supports fixed page formats (PDF, DjVu, CBT, CBZ) and reflowable e-book formats (EPUB, FB2, Mobi, DOC, CHM, TXT). Scanned PDF/DjVu documents can also be reflowed with the built-in K2pdfopt library.
-
full-featured reading: multi-lingual user interface with a highly customizable reader view and many typesetting options. You can set arbitrary page margins, override line spacing and choose external fonts and styles. It has multi-lingual hyphenation dictionaries bundled into the application.
-
integrated with calibre (search metadata, receive ebooks wirelessly, browse library via OPDS), Wallabag, Wikipedia, Google Translate and other content providers.
-
optimized for e-ink devices: custom UI without animation, with paginated menus, adjustable text contrast, and easy zoom to fit content or page in paged media.
-
extensible: via plugins
-
fast: on some older devices, it has been measured to have less than half the page-turn delay as the built in reading software.
-
and much more: look up words with StarDict dictionaries / Wikipedia, add your own online OPDS catalogs and RSS feeds, over-the-air software updates, an FTP client, an SSH server, …
