* UIManager: Let the fb backend deal with Kaleido wfm promotion. This fixes a number of quirks that poisoned the refresh queue with spurious full-screen refreshes. See https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1865 for more details. * This also means we now disable Kaleido waveform modes when color rendering is disabled (remember to trash your thumbnail cache if you don't want to mix color w/ grayscale thumbnails, though). * UIManager: Merge refreshes that share an edge, because that was driving me nuts (and would have most likely been merged by the kernel anyway). A perfect test-case is the FM, which trips two separate refreshes because of its title bar. * ReaderFlipping: Use sensible dimensions, so that we only refresh the icon's region. * ReaderBookmark: Only refresh the dogear instead of the whole page when toggling bookmarks. * NetworkSetting: Make it a real boy, so it consistently refreshes properly on dismiss instead of relying on UIManager saving the day. * Kobo: Aggressively prevent *both* suspend & standby while MTK devices are plugged-in, as both will horribly implode the kernel (we previously only prevent standby while charging). * Kobo: Switch to 8bpp on B&W MTK devices (or when color rendering is disabled on Kaleido panels).
