A graphical shell for mobile devices

Summary of changes

• New load meter plugin for the top bar (demo)

  • Allow to enable syncthing plugin via mobile settings
  • Show notification when app can't be uninstalled
  • Avoid slow startup notification (with e.g. Firefox) by tracking apps we forked so they get more time during startup
  • Unquote app-id's if the app accidentally quotes them fixing another case of seemingly slow startup
  • Avoid Bluetooth quick setting getting disabled on output changes
  • Allow to rotate lock screen on tablets
  • Apply cutout config changes immediately
  • Lockscreen style improvements
