evan 114c8c5f72 feat(ui): add persistent status bar and card grid launcher
The bar is host-owned chrome: the firmware clips apps into a viewport below
it, so no app can paint over it, while /lib/statusbar.lua owns the height,
repaint interval and painting. gui.fullscreen() lets touch calibration take
the physical panel back.

Launcher and settings become grids of square cards (3 across landscape, 2
portrait) via the new gui.setTextSize, ui.label and ui.cardSide. The one
function on the `app` table moves to sys.setTickInterval, alongside the new
sys.appName the bar needs.
