Improvements for Files app and statusbar icon (#35)
- Created `tt_get_platform()` to use with more complex platform checks aside from the `ESP_PLATFORM` preprocessor directive
- Expand PC/sim memory to 256k so we can load the max amount of entries in Files without memory issues. I decided to skip the LVGL buffer entirely so it's easier to catch memory leaks.
- Simplified logic in `files_data.c`
- Implement statusbar as a proper widget
- Implement statusbar widget for wifi service
- Implement statusbar widget for sdcard mounting/unmounting

# TODOs
- Update `view_port` to use `ViewPort` as handle externally and `ViewPortData` internally
- Create more unit tests for `tactility-core` and `tactility` (PC-only for now)
- Have a way to deinit LVGL drivers that are created from `HardwareConfig`
- Show a warning screen if firmware encryption or secure boot are off when saving WiFi credentials.
- Show a warning screen when a user plugs in the SD card on a device that only supports mounting at boot.
- Try out Waveshare S3 120MHz mode for PSRAM (see "enabling 120M PSRAM is necessary" in [docs](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4.3#Other_Notes))
- Fix for dark theme: the wifi icons should use the colour of the theme (they remain black when dark theme is set)
- Update Wi-Fi status bar icon based on signal strength
- Auto-detect sdcard removal (with a service?)
# Core Ideas
- Make a HAL? It would mainly be there to support PC development. It's a lot of effort for supporting what's effectively a dev-only feature.
- Support for displays with different DPI. Consider the layer-based system like on Android.
- Display orientation support for Display app
- If present, use LED to show boot status
- 2 wire speaker support
- tt_app_start() and similar functions as proxies for Loader app start/stop/etc.
- tt_app_set_result() for apps that need to return data to other apps (e.g. file selection)
- Make a statusbar service that apps can register icons to. Gui can observe its status changes?
# App Improvement Ideas
- Sort desktop apps by name.
- Light/dark mode selection in Display settings app.
# App Ideas
- Chip 8 emulator
- Discord bot
- BadUSB
- IR transceiver app
- GPIO status viewer
- BlueTooth keyboard app
- Investigate CSI https://stevenmhernandez.github.io/ESP32-CSI-Tool/
