This 2-in-1 PR started with the goal of support the Bangle.js 2
smartwatch with *no USB*.
* Adds "secure" DFU build support with a committed private key.
* Adds 3-bit color support with one dummy bit for the JDI memory display
* Allows nrf boards to have a board_background_task() run in RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
This is needed because the Bangle.js 2 uses the watchdog to reset.
* Renamed port_background_task() to port_background_tick() to indicate it
runs on tick, not RUN_BACKGROUND_TASK.
* Marks serial connected when the display terminal is inited. This means
that safe mode messages show up on the display.
ACep, 7-color epaper displays also pack 3 bits in 4. So, I added that
support as well.
* Adds 3-bit ACeP color support for 7-color e-paper displays. (Not
watch related but similar due to color depth.)
* Allows a refresh sequence instead of a single int command. The 7" ACeP
display requires a data byte for refresh.
* Adds optional delay after resetting the display. The ACeP displays
need this. (Probably to load LUTs from flash.)
* Adds a cleaning phase for ACeP displays before the real refresh.
For both:
* Add dither support to Palette.
* Palette no longer converts colors when set. Instead, it caches
converted colors at each index.
* ColorConverter now caches the last converted color. It should make
conversions faster for repeated colors (not dithering.)
* Tweak scroll area position so last line is complete and top is
under the title bar.
* Pick Blinka size based on the font to minimize unused space in
title bar. Related to #2791
* Update the title bar after terminal is started. Fixes#6078Fixes#6668
This adds support for CIRCUITPY_WIFI_SSID and CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD
in `/.env`. When both are defined, CircuitPython will attempt to
connect to the network even when user code isn't running. If the
user code attempts to a network with the same SSID, it will return
immediately. Connecting to another SSID will disconnect from the
auto-connected network. If the user code initiates the connection,
then it will be shutdown after user code exits. (Should match <8
behavior.)
This PR also reworks the default displayio terminal. It now supports
a title bar TileGrid in addition to the (newly renamed) scroll area.
The default title bar is the top row of the display and is positioned
to the right of the Blinka logo when it is enabled. The scroll area
is now below the Blinka logo.
The Wi-Fi auto-connect code now uses the title bar to show its
state including the IP address when connected. It does this through
the "standard" OSC control sequence `ESC ] 0 ; <s> ESC \` where <s>
is the title bar string. This is commonly supported by terminals
so it should work over USB and UART as well.

The font is missing many characters and the build needs the space.
We can optimize font storage when we get a good font.
The serial output will work as usual.
This fixes the bug that bitmap changes do not cause screen updates
and optimizes the refresh when the bitmap is simply shown on the
screen. If the bitmap is used in tiles, then changing it will
cause all TileGrids using it to do a full refresh.
Fixes#1981
This changes a number of things in displayio:
* Introduces BuiltinFont and Glyph so the built in font can be used by libraries. For boards with
a font it is available as board.TERMINAL_FONT. Fixes#1172
* Remove _load_row from Bitmap in favor of bitmap[] access. Index can be x/y tuple or overall index. Fixes#1191
* Add width and height properties to Bitmap.
* Add insert and [] access to Group. Fixes#1518
* Add index param to pop on Group.
* Terminal no longer takes unicode character info. It takes a BuiltinFont instead.
* Fix Terminal's handling of [###D vt100 commands used when up arrowing into repl history.
* Add x and y positions to Group plus scale as well.
* Add bitmap accessor for BuiltinFont
