Basically:
* Use `extend` for class definitions
* Use `new` for object instantiations
That includes some minor code cleanups along the way:
* Updated `Widget`'s docs to make the semantics clearer.
* Removed `should_restrict_JIT` (it's been dead code since https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/283)
* Minor refactoring of LuaSettings/LuaData/LuaDefaults/DocSettings to behave (mostly, they are instantiated via `open` instead of `new`) like everything else and handle inheritance properly (i.e., DocSettings is now a proper LuaSettings subclass).
* Default to `WidgetContainer` instead of `InputContainer` for stuff that doesn't actually setup key/gesture events.
* Ditto for explicit `*Listener` only classes, make sure they're based on `EventListener` instead of something uselessly fancier.
* Unless absolutely necessary, do not store references in class objects, ever; only values. Instead, always store references in instances, to avoid both sneaky inheritance issues, and sneaky GC pinning of stale references.
* ReaderUI: Fix one such issue with its `active_widgets` array, with critical implications, as it essentially pinned *all* of ReaderUI's modules, including their reference to the `Document` instance (i.e., that was a big-ass leak).
* Terminal: Make sure the shell is killed on plugin teardown.
* InputText: Fix Home/End/Del physical keys to behave sensibly.
* InputContainer/WidgetContainer: If necessary, compute self.dimen at paintTo time (previously, only InputContainers did, which might have had something to do with random widgets unconcerned about input using it as a baseclass instead of WidgetContainer...).
* OverlapGroup: Compute self.dimen at *init* time, because for some reason it needs to do that, but do it directly in OverlapGroup instead of going through a weird WidgetContainer method that it was the sole user of.
* ReaderCropping: Under no circumstances should a Document instance member (here, self.bbox) risk being `nil`ed!
* Kobo: Minor code cleanups.
* This removes support for the following deprecated constants: `DTAP_ZONE_FLIPPING`, `DTAP_ZONE_BOOKMARK`, `DCREREADER_CONFIG_DEFAULT_FONT_GAMMA`
* The "Advanced settings" panel now highlights modified values in bold (think about:config in Firefox ;)).
* LuaData: Isolate global table lookup shenanigans, and fix a few issues in unused-in-prod codepaths.
* CodeStyle: Require module locals for Lua/C modules, too.
* ScreenSaver: Actually garbage collect our widget on close (ScreenSaver itself is not an instantiated object).
* DateTimeWidget: Code cleanups to ensure child widgets can be GC'ed.
Should avoid egregious values that would potentially alloc insanely large buffers (and likely fail to do so).
In the process, tweak the scale_factor computations when zooming so as to produce slightly less annoying behavior.
* Android: Make sure sdcv can find the STL
* DocCache: Be less greedy when serializing to disk, and only do that for the *current* document ;).
* CanvasContext: Explicitly document API quirks.
* Fontlist: Switch the on-disk Persist format to zstd (it's ever so slightly faster).
* Bump base for https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1515 (fix#9506)
* Allow doing away with CacheItem
Now that we have working FFI finalizers on BBs, it's mostly useless overhead.
We only keep it for DocCache, because it's slightly larger, and memory pressure might put us in a do or die situation where waiting for the GC might mean an OOM kill.
* Expose's LRU slot-only mode
And use it for CatalogCache, which doesn't care about storage space
* Make GlyphCache slots only (storage space is insignificant here, it was
always going to be evicted by running out of slots).
* More informative warning when we chop the cache in half
Ought to be faster than our naive array-based approach.
Especially for the glyph cache, which has a solid amount of elements,
and is mostly cache hits.
(There are few things worse for performance in Lua than
table.remove @ !tail and table.insert @ !tail, which this was full of :/).
DocCache: New module that's now an actual Cache instance instead of a
weird hack. Replaces "Cache" (the instance) as used across Document &
co.
Only Cache instance with on-disk persistence.
ImageCache: Update to new Cache.
GlyphCache: Update to new Cache.
Also, actually free glyph bbs on eviction.
