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.)
Watchdogs are used to reboot out of the bootloader. There is a
scratch register for user watchdogs. So use sdk functions to better
distinguish these.
Related to #7346
The comment says it is `buffer[start:end]` but it assumed elements
were a single byte long. Now it correctly does multibyte elements
from array.array.
Fixes#4988
Now, open wifi works on Pico W, so this closes#7438.
For the web workflow it's now OK to either
* specify an empty password string (as before)
* not have the CIRCUITPY_WIFI_PASSWORD key at all (new functionality)
reset_port calls reset_all_pins, which disables the built-in pull
down. In theory, this could allow some CYW43 interfacing pin to float
to an inappropriate value. There's no proof of this! but the move can't
really hurt, either
