I'm currently running up against the limitations of the lcd_draw functions
I want these functions to be able to be used on any size buffer not
just buffers with a stride matching the underlying device
[DONE] allow the framebuffer to be decoupled from the device framebuffer
[DONE need examples] allow for some simple blit like transformations
[DONE] remove the device framebuffer from the plugin api
[DONE}ditto remote framebuffer
[DONE] remove _viewport_get_framebuffer you can call struct *vp = lcd_set_viewport(NULL) and vp->buffer->fb_ptr
while remote lcds may compile (and work in the sim) its not been tested on targets
[FIXED] backdrops need work to be screen agnostic
[FIXED] screen statusbar is not being combined into the main viewport correctly yet
[FIXED] screen elements are displayed incorrectly after switch to void*
[FIXED] core didn't restore proper viewport on splash etc.
[NEEDS TESTING] remote lcd garbled data
[FIXED] osd lib garbled screen on bmp_part
[FIXED] grey_set_vp needs to return old viewport like lcd_set_viewport
[FIXED] Viewport update now handles viewports with differing buffers/strides by copying to the main buffer
[FIXED] splash on top of WPS leaves old framebuffer data (doesn't redraw)
[UPDATE] refined this a bit more to have clear_viewport set the clean bit and have skin_render do its own screen clear
scrolling viewports no longer trigger wps refresh
also fixed a bug where guisyncyesno was displaying and then disappearing
[ADDED!] New LCD macros that allow you to create properly size frame buffers in you desired size without wasting bytes
(LCD_ and LCD_REMOTE_)
LCD_STRIDE(w, h) same as STRIDE_MAIN
LCD_FBSTRIDE(w, h) returns target specific stride for a buffer W x H
LCD_NBELEMS(w, h) returns the number of fb_data sized elemenst needed for a buffer W x H
LCD_NATIVE_STRIDE(s) conversion between rockbox native vertical and lcd native stride (2bitH)
test_viewports.c has an example of usage
[FIXED!!] 2bit targets don't respect non-native strides
[FIXED] Few define snags

Note: I left behind lcd_bitmap in features.txt, because removing it
would require considerable work in the manual and the translations.

The framebuffer the lcd driver uses can now be changed on the fly
which means that regular lcd_* drawing functions can draw onto the
"backdrop" buffer. The skin engine can use this to create layered
effects.
Add the tag %VB to a viewport to draw that viewport onto the
backdrop layer. If you want to draw an image onto the backdrop
framebuffer use %x(backdrop filename) instead of %X() inside
a viewport with %VB.

Skins are now more self contained in the skin manager which in the future might allow on demand skin loading (i.e smaller skin buffers)
Skin backdrops are also managed more intelegently (fixes a bug where you can get a crazy backdrop loaded if a .sbs fails to load)
the rockbox_default rescue theme is now called rockbox_failsafe to better express what it actually is.
This commit hopefully/maybe fixes the heavily reported data aborts, so please check if you are getting them

Plenty of room to add new action abilities if they are wanted.

- simplify the setting/skin relationship. settings are used as the fallback if it's not specified in the skin
- backdrop buffers are now in the skin buffer (which has also increased slightly to accomodate 1 backdrop for each skin and 2 full colour screens for bmps (up for 1.5))
- if no %X is specified in a skin then the backdrop setting will be used. use %Xd to explicitly disable a skin from displaying a backdrop
- the base skin can now specify a backdrop.

The custom statusbar can be used as a WPS for the main UI, using .(r)sbs files. It's using the skin engine and knows all tags the WPS also knows.
The default folder for .sbs is the wps folder to reuse images used in the WPS.
As it can be shown in the WPS also, it's useful to move shared parts to the custom statusbar in order to save skin buffer space.
There are a few restrictions/TODOs:
*) Peak meter doesn't redraw nicely(not frequent enough), as very frequent updates would slow the UI down as hell (some targets fight with it in the WPS already: FS#10686)
*) No touchregion support as the statusbar doesn't have any action handling (it won't fail to parse though).
*) Drawing stuff into the default VP is forbidden (loading images in it is not). You *need* to use viewports for the displaying stuff (parsing fails if no viewport is used).
*) Themes that don't use a custom ui viewport can be fixed up using the new %Vi tag to avoid nasty redraw effectts (you must not draw into it as well, it's used to fix up the ui viewport). %Vi describes the viewport that the lists can use without getting in the way of the statusbar.
Otherwise, it behaves like the classic statusbar, it can be configured in the theme settings, and can be turned off in the wps using %wd.
Note to translaters: When translating LANG_STATUSBAR_CUSTOM, please consider using the same translation as for LANG_CHANNEL_CUSTOM if it's compatible. They could be combined later then.

start redoing memory management in the skins to use a single larger buffer instead of lots of arrays for things like images and progressbars.
This commit removes the limit on the amount of progressbars allowed on the screen, still 1 per viewport, but unlimited otherwise(!)
Also a larger buffer for remote targets, same size for non-remote targets but very easy to make it bigger (technically removed the 52(?) image limit in skins, except still limited to 1 char identifiers)
Unlimited "string" tokens now (limit was 1024 which was rediculously wasteful)

-add wrappers wps_data_load() and wps_data_init() so that other code doesn't need the structs for that
-change (and rename) gui_sync_wps_uses_albumart() to take points to be filled as parameter to get the AA size of a wps
