Eric Caruso bcc5057ad3 lightbar: interpreter additions to encode other patterns
Makes a significant encoding change to existing opcodes and
adds several opcodes to allow for encoding the more complicated
patterns that we have on the lightbar (S0, etc.) as well as
condense the ones we technically could encode but couldn't
fit in the 192-byte footprint allotted to us (KONAMI).

We need this to remove sequences from the EC code.

Lightbar simulator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Build with "make lightbar". The executable is "./lightbar".

You may need to install libxcb1-dev or similar.

This provides a simulation environment for the lightbar task, compiling
common/lightbar.c from the EC source, but faking the rest of the EC.

The EC console is on stdin/stdout, delivering all input to the lightbar's
console command handler (so it prefixes any input with "lightbar"). The
lightbar itself is displayed in an X window. You can click in that window to
emulate changes to the battery level, AC connection, and brightness, all of
which are normally outside the lightbar task's direct control.

The initial sequence is "S5". Try issuing the command "seq s3s0" to see
something more familiar.


Note: the Pixel lightbar circuitry has three modes of operation:

Unpowered

  When the host CPU is off (S5/G3), all power to the lightbar and its
  controller circuitry is lost.

On

  When the host CPU is on (S0) or suspended (S3), the lightbar is powered
  again. After every power loss, it will need to be reinitialized by calling
  lb_init() before it can be used.

Standby

  The lightbar controller ICs can turn off all the LED outputs to conserve
  power. This is the initial state when power is applied. You can turn the
  LEDs off manually by calling lb_off(). When suspended, the controller will
  respond to commands, but the LEDs aren't lit. Turn them on with lb_on().
