This is a guide to writing a Kaleidoscope plugin, more or less written as a
tutorial. It is (obviously) incomplete, but even in its partially-complete
state, it's still probably useful.

This event handler is useful for plugins that need to react to events, but
should wait until after those events are fully processed before doing so. This
is useful for OneShot, which needs to keep keys active until after events that
trigger their release. The `afterEachCycle()` hook is unfortunately
insufficient for this purpose, because the same event could trigger multiple
plugins (e.g. TapDance & OneShot) to resolve events, and the OneShot should
apply only to the first ensuing report.

This implements a new `FocusSerial` command: `plugins`. The `plugins` command
will reply back with a list of plugins enabled in the firmware. The list is not
exhaustive, only plugins that opt-in to this mechanism will be listed. It is
opt-in, because for a lot of plugins, having them listed isn't useful in a
practical sense.
The goal with this feature is to allow Chrysalis to detect plugins that would
affect what keys it offers, or which additional settings it displays, and do so
in a consistent way. This is why IdleLEDs has an `onNameQuery` handler too, even
though it can be detected otherwise: for consistency.

@algernon and I have been hashing out a set of terminology over the past week. While this is still fairly incomplete, it is hopefully an improvement on the previous undocumented state of things.
The code example was using an outdated header for `tapDanceAction` that used `row` and `col`.
Updated to use `key_addr` instead.

Some users have pointed out that certain keys (in particular, `space` &
`backspace`) are inconvenient to require the minimum prior interval to make a
qukey resolve to a modifier (especially `shift`). We could blacklist those keys,
but it's hard to predict what they all might be. The problem is mainly one for
very fast typists, and therefore I expect it to show up when following the
"normal" printable keys, not often other keys.
This could also be made into a configurable list, but I'd prefer not to do so
unless there's serious demand for it, as Qukeys already has too many settings.

Unintended modifiers are becoming an increasingly big problem among users of
Qukeys. This change adds yet another configuration option to prevent this from
happening while users are typing fast. It introduces a new requirement to make a
qukey eligible to become a qukey; a minimum amount of time that must pass
between the keypress event for a non-modifier key and the subsequent keypress
event of the qukey.
