Launcher: a grid of icons, with badges; the list stays as a Setting

The Launcher shows the Apps as a 4 x 3 grid of 32 x 32 icons, the
selected one's name under it (issue #9). The icons are the website's
own, doubled, and two drawn the same way for SSH and the Shell; they
are PNGs in assets/icons, turned into arrays by scripts/make_icons.py,
which CI checks. The selected tile is the website's: dark blue on cyan,
with notched corners.

- GridModel (lib/ui, host-tested) holds the selection and the scrolling.
- App::badge(): a dot on the tile for unread IRC messages, a Track
  recording, a Capture running, an SSH session open.
- Settings > Launcher: Grid or List.

## The Launcher
The home screen lists the Apps. Move with the arrows, open one with <kbd>Enter</kbd>. Back inside an App returns here.
The home screen shows the Apps as a grid of icons, four to a row, with the name of the selected one written under the grid. Move with the four arrows, open an App with <kbd>Enter</kbd>. Back inside an App returns here.
Left and right go through every App and wrap around; up and down stay in the column.
**An orange dot on an icon** says something is going on in that App: unread messages in IRC, a Track being recorded in GNSS, a Capture running in the LoRa Scanner, a session open in SSH.
If you prefer the list of names the Launcher used to be, **Settings → Launcher** switches between **Grid** and **List**. In the list, a `*` on the right stands for the dot.
