ui: implement a screen timeout after a period of user inactivity
ci/woodpecker/push/woodpecker Pipeline was successful Details
ci/woodpecker/tag/woodpecker Pipeline was successful Details
passed 60 sec of no touch screen activity, daemon turns off backlight
and gui places a black "topdrop", opposite of backdrop. simply touching
the screen reactivates it immediately.

there seem to be no way to turn screen power off, so backlight plus
black topdrop is the next best.

there's no user settings to change 60 sec timeout at the moment because it
is unclear whether it's worth adding UI elements. can always do so later.

the implementation also provides means to reactivate the screen in
an event of an alert from the daemon in the future.

comm: format protocol header manually and eliminate a potential footgun
the nd/ngui protocol is a simple TLV: message tag, length and
a json-encoded payload. the issue is with the (tag, length) header which
was written/read by using raw memory pointers, such as
Writer.writeStruct. in addition, tag ordinal values were auto-generated
by the compiler.

all those deficiencies may potentially lead to bugs hard to find or
serious data leaks.

serializing and deserializing the (tag, length) header manually
makes it more robust and eliminates the footgun.
