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.
this flips the bottom-right style to top-left which is at least
kind of normal. A 2x2 square at (0,0) would be defined like
(0,0), (3,0), (3,3), (0,3)
Which seems kind of surprising but at least less bonkers than
that square being defined at (1,1), which is the current behavior.
The getter for vectorio.Polygon#points was not updated with the data type change of the stored points list.
This moves the implementation to shared_module and updates the data type to reflect the actual state.
This change takes polygon from 126k pixels per second fill to 240k pps fill
on a reference 5 point star 50x66px polygon, updating both location and shape
at 10hz. Tested on an m4 express feather.
As a curiosity, the flat-out fill rate of a shape whose get_pixel is `return 0;`
fills just shy of 375k pixels per second.
