The member functions of the union now take all arguments const, meaning
that it is not possible to modify this value somehow. This reduces the
chance of subtle bugs and widens the contexts in which these member
functions can be used.
Furthermore, one signature took a `Key' by value while all functions
take `Key' by reference. For the sake of consistency, this was adapted
to.
Making the member functions of Key `const' explicitly flags that they
will not change the union. This will allow to use Key in const contexts.
Adding the `constexpr' specifier to the function makes it possible to
rely on the results at compile time. This puts some kind of restrictions
on the function, especially when using C++11 and not a newer standard,
but these restrictions were already fulfilled, so this seems to be safe.
Updates the formatting a bit, and adds a few entries too. Still much to be done,
but... small steps!

By far the most common deprecation will be the event handler and loop hook
deprecation. Make them less scary, and point out that unless one's a developer,
they likely need not care.

Moving the deprecation messages to a separate header, and adding a few helpers
allow us to write much more detailed deprecation messages, without needlessly
making the code look incredibly messy.
This also updates most of the deprecation messages to be much more helpful, and
provide hints at how to fix the warnings produced by them.

Rearranged a little, so deprecation is a section, and we can put other things,
notes, into the document. With the rearrangement, added a section about the new
plugin API, and explained the API version bump too.

Due to the plugin API redesign, plugins that migrate may want to ensure they are
compiled against a recent enough Kaleidoscope. Others may opt to provide
separate implementations for each version. For this to work, we need to bump the
API version.

Fixed a conditional so that the event handlers of old-style plugins will be
called. Without this, they don't, and old-style plugins that install event
handlers, would not work.

With this redesign, we introduce a new way to create plugins, which is easier to
extend with new hook points, provides a better interface, uses less memory, less
program space, and is a tiny bit faster too.
It all begins with `kaleidoscope::Plugin` being the base class, which provides
the hook methods plugins can implement. Plugins should be declared with
`KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS` instead of `Kaleidoscope.use()`. Behind this macro
is a bit of magic (see the in-code documentation) that allows us to unroll the
hook method calls, avoid vtables, and so on. It creates an override for
`kaleidoscope::Hooks::*` methods, each of which will call the respective methods
of each initialized plugin.
With the new API come new names: all of the methods plugins can implement
received new, more descriptive names that all follow a similar pattern.
The old (dubbed V1) API still remains in place, although deprecated. One can
turn it off by setting the `KALEIDOSCOPE_ENABLE_V1_PLUGIN_API` define to zero,
while compiling the firmware.
This work is based on #276, written by @noseglasses. @obra and @algernon did
some cleaning up and applied a little naming treatment.

This can be used to see the effect of changes on the core firmware alone,
without any plugins or the like.

Since keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-Hardware-Model01#23 we do not call
`handleKeyswitchEvent` for keys that are idle. Document this in the comments.
Signed-off-by: Gergely Nagy <algernon@keyboard.io>
When a keyswitch has been off in the previous cycle and is still off now, do not
call `handleKeyswitchEvent` on it. As an extension, when the whole column is
idle, skip the whole thing.
In practice, handling fully idle keys is not useful. There are many plugins
which explicitly look for this case and return early, because it isn't an
interesting event. As such, not calling the event handler in this case makes
sense, as we save not only a few needless checks in plugins, but our performance
improves greatly too.

In `actOnMatrixScan`, there is no need to use temporary variables, we can just
pass the data directly to `actOnHalfRow`, and doing so makes the code easier to
follow.
In `actOnHalfRow`, we can further optimize things if instead of reading the Nth
bit, we always read the first, and shift the byte at the end.
All of these optimizations were done by @obra, I just wrote the commit message.

When there are no state changes, and no keys pressed on a row, instead of
iterating through a byte bit-by-bit, just fire idle events without checking the
bits. In all other cases, do the bit-walking like we did before.
The reason this is useful is because bit-walking is costly, and slow. If we can
avoid that, we win quite a lot of performance. Since rows being idle is the most
common case on a keyboard, this is a huge net win. Even in the worst case, where
no rows are idle, this is just one byte comparison and a branch slower than our
previous implementation.
As part of this optimization, `actOnHalfRow` was lifted out into its own
function, to reduce code duplication.
Many thanks to @gedankenexperimenter for the original idea!

There are a number of false-positives, where ShellCheck warns about behaviour we
do want, or are otherwise intentional.
