* Kobo: Drop a bunch of if ladder crap and switch to auto-detection of input devices via fbink_input
* Kindle: Drop an even larger bundle of crap to do the same ;p. (re: #11392)
* ExternalKeyboard: Switch to fbink_input to whitelist keyboards instead of the manual parsing of caps via its FindKeyboard class
* Input: Extended open/close wrappers to handle logging & tracking of dupe open/close calls.
* Support the Clara B&W, Clara Colour & Libra Colour
* Enable HW dithering on *all* the Kobo MTK devices
* Enforce 32bpp instead of 8bpp for Kobo devices with a color panel (the driver doesn't actually support 8bpp anyway)
* Enable standby support on MTK (whenever possible, i.e., not when plugged in, as that is horribly, horribly broken).
* Enforce the dedicated "color" waveform mode for image content in ScreenSaver, ImageViewer & Reader.
* Fix charging LED support on MTK
* Tweak the frontlight ramp on MTK + LM3630 so that it actually ramps smoothly
Device:getDefaultRoute parses /proc/net/route and converts the hex
addresses to textual IP addresses, but in `isOnline` we don't care what
address the gateway actually has, we only care about whether we have a
default route into the Internet.
This provides a simpler alternative that does the equivalent of
"ip route get 203.0.113.1 || ip route get 2001:db8::1" (note that it
does support IPv6-only connectivity as opposed to
Device:getDefaultRoute) and returns true if we have a route.
Inspired by https://github.com/pavel-odintsov/get_default_outgoing_ip_linux
Doing the `isOnline` check (`socket.dns.toip("dns.msftncsi.com")`)
without having internet connectivity (`!isConnected`) results in the
`isOnline` check never succeeding again even if connectivity is later
acquired. This is most likely caused by /etc/resolv.conf only being
parsed once - https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=984, an
issue that was fixed in glibc 2.26 (PocketBook firmware U740.6.8.2461
has glibc 2.23).
This fix works around the problem by checking if we have a default route
first before even attempting to check `isOnline`. If we don't, then
`isOnline` is (almost) guaranteed to fail anyway.
We could alternatively check `isConnected` instead, but that only checks
wireless connectivity on many platforms, and we could have internet
access via USBNet instead. Checking for the default route via any
interface should work reliably for both wireless and USBNet
connectivity.
Another alternative fix is to add a fallback nameserver to
/etc/resolv.conf like we do for the Kobo platform [1]. Unfortunately,
this fix would not work in the following (rather common) scenario:
1. PocketBook boots, connects to WiFi
2. KOReader starts, /etc/resolv.conf looks all right, no fallback needed
3. PocketBook goes to sleep, disconnects from WiFi, clears resolv.conf
4. PocketBook wakes up, stays disconnected
5. KOReader user does a Wikipedia lookup, networking freezes

Added in <https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/8722> and unproblematic for the past two years, but Weblate has now decided to complain about it to the extent of disabling translations:
> Error message
String contains control character: 'If some book titles, dictionary entries and such are not displayed well but shown as \ufffe\ufffe or ��, it may be necessary to download the required fonts for those languages. They can then be enabled as additional UI fallback fonts.\nFonts for many languages can be downloaded at:\n\nhttps://fonts.google.com/noto\n\nOnly fonts named "Noto Sans xyz" or "Noto Sans xyz UI" (regular, not bold nor italic, not Serif) will be available in this menu.

Include in the EPUB stylesheet most of our epub.css
tweaks, so we get our expected styling even when
html5.css is used as the default stylesheet.
(Users liking the "web page" look can still get it
by enabling some of our existing style tweaks.)
Can be used to inspect the state of the objects in
a running KOReader.
It can also be used to execute actions (like the ones
available to associate to a gesture) with HTTP requests
from a remote computer/devices/gadgets.
The TCP server side is provided either with a new
ZeroMQ StreamMessageQueueServer (thanks bneo99),
or with a LuaSocket based SimpleTCPServer.
Minor UIManager tweak to avoid uneeded inputevent
when such a ZeroMQ module is running.
