NiLuJe bb3f49a566 [feat, Kobo] On Kobo, drop fb to 8bpp on startup (#4637)
* The Great 8bpp Experiment

Swap to 8bpp on Kobo, because we're 'effing grayscale, for pete's sake!

* Always swap to 8bpp, no matter the launch method.

Because it turned out that, even when restarting Nickel, we had to
restore the expected bitdepth ourselves, because pickel/Nickel didn't do
the job completely.

(I'm going to guess the grayscale flag wasn't getting flipped properly).

* Dither every non-transparent icon to the eInk palette

* Make sure hasBGRFrameBuffer is only enabled when the Kobo fb actually is
@ 32bpp...

* Re-process badly grayscaled icons

* And re-grayscale that one w/ gamma correction so the squares show up
better.

* Allow the fbdepth switch to be disabled (in Developer settings).

Also, allow setting debug mode that way.

Also, forcibly disable verbose logging when disabling debug.

* Update setting name to piggyback on the existing check in reader.lua

* Update icons postprocessing info

chrox 9654e9ce6c fix #1608 with touch coordinates detection
Some kobo touch devices have X Y coordinates in touch events swapped.
This patch provides a GUI to probe if the device needs to swap the XY.
The Kobo Touch users will be directed to tap on the upper right corner
of the screen and the probe will check if the X value is smaller than
the Y value in the tap event.
