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The code example was using an outdated header for `tapDanceAction` that used `row` and `col`.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.

Previously, we used index-ordering for layers, meaning, we looked keys up based
on the index of active layers. This turned out to be confusing, and in many
cases, limiting, since we couldn't easily shift to a lower layer from a higher
one. As such, index-ordering required careful planning of one's layers, and a
deeper understanding of the system.
This patch switches us to activation-ordering: the layer subsystem now keeps
track of the order in which layers are activated, and uses that order to look
keys up, instead of the index of layers. This makes it easier to understand how
the system works, and allows us to shift to lower layers too.
It does require a bit more resources, since we can't just store a bitmap of
active layers, but need 32 bytes to store the order. We still keep the bitmap,
to make `Layer.isActive()` fast: looking up a bit in the bitmap is more
efficient than walking the active layer array, and this function is often used
in cases where speed matters.
As a side effect of the switch, a number of methods were deprecated, and similar
ones with more appropriate names were introduced. See the updated `UPGRADING.md`
document for more details.
Plugins that used the deprecated methods were updated to use the new ones.
Fixes#857.

This change makes Qukeys require a certain minimum amount of time for a
key to be held before it is eligible to get its alternate (i.e. modifier)
value. This should help faster typists avoid unintended modifiers in the
output.
