Video wallpaper, pin/hide apps

Pre-release
What's new
- Video wallpaper. The background is now a looping 4K video of all the wallpapers, which the TV decodes in hardware. It replaces rotating 4K JPEGs on the CPU, which stalled hover highlighting. The homescreen layout is unchanged.
- Pin and hide apps. Open the app drawer and press Edit (bottom right) to pin/unpin apps on the bottom bar and hide/show apps in the drawer. Settings are saved and kept between launches. The old hardcoded bar list is only the default until you change it.
- Clock fix. The clock reads local time instead of calling the system service every second, so it no longer lags or skips seconds.
- Smoother hover. Each app tile now repaints on its own, which fixes lag when moving the pointer quickly across many apps.
- Builds out of the box from a plain clone (
QwQwebosTV.jsis vendored instead of a submodule).
Notes
- The video is processed by the TV's picture engine and can look grainy in some picture modes. Use Game (or Filmmaker) picture mode, or turn off noise reduction / Super Resolution.
- This is a beta: it has not been tested widely. Please report anything odd.
- Building from source: run
./scripts/make-wallpaper-video.sh(needs ffmpeg) beforeares-package src. Without it the app falls back to rotating the images.
