Notes: plain text notes on the SD card, with an editor that saves by itself (#19)

The Notes App lists the files of /notes by their first line, newest first:
n starts a note, Enter opens it, r renames its file, d deletes it after
asking, s sorts by name. A new note's file is named after its first line.

The editor wraps at spaces, 38 columns by 8 rows; Fn+arrows move through
the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the ends of the line. There is no
save key: the note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, on
leaving the App, when the screen turns off and before the device powers
off. A save writes a temporary file and puts it in the note's place; a save
cut short is put back, or offered, the next time.

A note is up to 16 KB, held in one buffer reserved when it's opened: the
file is read straight into it and typing never makes it grow. A failed
allocation aborts on this device, and with IRC connected the largest free
block is about 31 KB: a first version that copied the note once on loading
restarted the device when a full note was opened with IRC connected.
Editing files of any size is #47.

The Storage App's text viewer gets `e`, which edits a text file up to 16 KB
with the same editor unless the file is read-only.

439 host tests. Checked on the device: docs/milestones/F1.md.

+## Notes
+
+The Notes App (docs/milestones/F1.md) keeps plain text notes in `/notes` on the SD card. The list shows each note's first line and its date, newest first; `s` switches to by file name. `n` starts a note, Enter opens one, `r` renames its file, `d` deletes it after asking.
+
+In the editor, type. Enter starts a line, Del deletes backwards, Fn with the arrows moves the cursor through the wrapped text, Ctrl+A and Ctrl+E go to the start and the end of the line, Tab types two spaces, and the Compose Key gives accents as everywhere. **There's no save key:** the note is written five seconds after the last key, on Back, on leaving the App, when the screen turns off and before the device powers off. The top line says "typing" or "saved". Each save writes a temporary file and then puts it in the note's place, so a power cut costs a few seconds of typing and never the note; if a save was cut short, opening the note offers its copy back.
+
+A new note has no file until something is typed; its file is then named after its first line (`shopping-list.txt`), or `note-<date>-<time>.txt`.
+
+A note holds up to 16 KB while it's edited. A bigger text file opens read-only in the Storage App (editing any size is issue #47). The Storage App's text viewer has `e` to edit a file with the same editor, anywhere on the card, unless the file is read-only.

 ## Development aids
 
 `scripts/serial_log.sh [seconds] [command…]` records the serial output, and can send commands to the firmware first. For example, `scripts/serial_log.sh 30 short sleep:12 burst` sets short screen timeouts, waits 12 s, then sends a burst of Toasts.
