A few minor fixes after #4847 (#4850)

* Add a toggle to disable the C blitter in the Dev menu (depends on https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/882) (never shown if the JIT is disabled, grayed out if the C blitter is not installed)
* Fix a few sizeUtf8Text call sites that were doing a nil check in order to account for the new return type.
* Tweak statusbar handling to avoid spurious sizeUtf8Text warnings when it's hidden, and unify its behavior between being hidden via toggle, and hidden on book open (at least when all-at-once is not enabled).
* c.f., https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/882 (Android, PB, RGB32 & Legacy Kindle regression fixes).
