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.)
new utility function for all vectorio shape specializations for testing
whether a screen-space x,y point falls within a shape's x,y.
This respects the current orientation of the screen in the manner of
displayio and vectorio - so your x,y requests are in the same coordinate
domain as your x,y locations and your width/height etc. properties that
ou set on other shapes. I.e., if you're using this for touch points then
you will need to make sure the touch events are in the same x,y domain as
your display.

This helps provide low overhead introspection of shape coverage on screen.
It's envisioned that this will be used for things like touch-and-drag
widget controls, touch "areas" and may help with random ornament placement
on toy Christmas trees.
* fix absolute_transform dirtying early instead of after the change, missing the draw
* fix transpose and mirror. (0,0) -> location in all vector shapes now in all rotations.
now works with all vector shapes, even those with internal reference locations
that are negative. All shape locations are anchored to their 0,0 but they can
display pixels from negative coordinates if the shape's location on the screen
would have room for it.
* add heuristic to avoid drawing area unnecessarily
* fix Polygon.points
* fix transpose
* fix mirror x and y
Known broken:
Polygon with negative Y coordinates does not work right.
* Removes VectorShape from user python interactions
* Re-integrates vectorio with displayio behind draw protocol implementations
* Implements draw protocol with VectorShape
* Composes VectorShape behaviors into Rectangle, Circle and Polygon
* Fixes terrible pixel garbage being left behind
* Improves redraw performance (heuristically) by tracking dirty area separately from current area.
Known Issues:
It does not work with transposed views.
This is a breaking change with previous palette semantic with respect to python code that uses vectorio.
Displayio has breaking changes in cpy 7 for Group's removal of max_size parameter so this is as good a
time as any to break everything.
Currently:
To color vectorio shapes correctly you have to pass in a palette with length 2. Palette[0] must be set transparent and palette[1] must be the color you want.
New:
To color vectorio shapes correctly you pass in a palette with length >= 1. Palette[0] will be the color of the shape.
Also improves pixels per second when skipping areas that aren't covered by the shape.
vectorio builds on m4 express feather
Concrete shapes are composed into a VectorShape which is put into a displayio Group for display.
VectorShape provides transpose and x/y positioning for shape implementations.
Included Shapes:
* Circle
- A radius; Circle is positioned at its axis in the VectorShape.
- You can freely modify the radius to grow and shrink the circle in-place.
* Polygon
- An ordered list of points.
- Beteween each successive point an edge is inferred. A final edge closing the shape is inferred between the last
point and the first point.
- You can modify the points in a Polygon. The points' coordinate system is relative to (0, 0) so if you'd like a
top-center justified 10x20 rectangle you can do points [(-5, 0), (5, 0), (5, 20), (0, 20)] and your VectorShape
x and y properties will position the rectangle relative to its top center point
* Rectangle
A width and a height.
