Refactor displayTask() into two phases: display and pre-render.
After showing a photo, the next one is immediately downloaded,
decoded, and dithered into a pending framebuffer (~240KB PSRAM).
When the slideshow timer fires, the EPD refresh starts instantly
without the previous 2-5s pipeline delay.
- Add PendingPhoto struct with settings hash for staleness guard
- Extract displayPhoto() and prepareNextPhoto() helpers
- Manual next/random discards pre-render and goes inline
- Falls back to inline pipeline if pre-render unavailable
- No changes to ImagePipeline, DisplayManager, or other modules

- Location gets its own badge in the lower-left corner (separate from
the main date/time/people/camera badge at the configured position)
- All overlay badges now use rounded corners (radius 4px) via
fillRoundRect instead of fillRect
- New setting: 'Translucent background?' checkbox in web UI
When enabled, badge backgrounds use a checkerboard pattern (every
other pixel black) instead of solid black, creating a 50% opacity
effect that lets the underlying image show through
- Refactored all badge drawing through a single drawOverlayBadge()
helper (metadata, sleep indicator, battery indicator)

Root cause: Panel_ED2208's epd_quality mode applies _dither_row_rgb_pair
(diagonal bias pattern with dither=140) during _exec_transfer(). Since our
ImagePipeline already does proper Floyd-Steinberg dithering, the driver's
additional dithering was creating visible diagonal artifacts.
Fix: setEpdMode(epd_fastest) selects _dither_row_none (clean nearest-color
lookup, no spatial bias). On Panel_ED2208 this only affects the dither
function — NOT refresh quality or waveform.
Also: default dither_noise setting to OFF since error scatter was targeting
the wrong layer (it made gradient areas fuzzier without fixing the real
problem in the display driver).

- Letterbox: extend edge pixels outward with blur + fade to solid color
- Portrait: detect and pair portraits side-by-side, fallback to solo
- Metadata: add overlay mode (corner badge), time field, custom date/time
format strings (strftime), font size 1.5x, region-aware for pairs
- Buttons: swap G9/G10 to match physical layout, double-press random
button for deep sleep, SLP indicator drawn before sleep
- Boot: remove redundant 'Loading photos' screen (saves 17s refresh)
