Feature Request: Auto rotate in Nightstand mode.

[MagneFire]

Some watches come with a stand that allows for use as night clock (for example smelt and swift offer such a charger). This does require that the watchface can rotate based on orientation.

Enabling the orientation sensor is easy enough. Undo this commit: https://github.com/AsteroidOS/lipstick/commit/6edd4913329f25efcef0a5d4b7b6a85c9a99a080#diff-25a6634263c1b1f6fc4697a04e2b9904ea4b042a89af59dc93ec1f5d44848a26) and use the reactOnDisplayStateChanges function when an orientation event occurs (https://github.com/AsteroidOS/lipstick/blob/master/src/compositor/lipstickcompositor.cpp#L654). Obviously, the orientation sensor should only be enabled when a charger is detected and when this feature is enabled.

One issue I immediately noticed when auto rotate is enabled is that the swipe gestures remain the same. So additionally a fix for this may be created, this would remove the need for this too: https://github.com/AsteroidOS/meta-mtk6580-hybris/blob/master/recipes-asteroid/asteroid-launcher/asteroid-launcher/0002-GestureFilterArea-Fix-swipe-interaction-on-rotated-s.patch

If we merge the changes to asteroid-launcher and asteroid-settings, I believe this can be marked as complete.

To clarify the requirements for this, here are my thoughts -- comments very welcome. Numbering is arbitrary and not meant to signify priority; just to provide a convenient handle for conversation.

Scenario

A tired traveler arrives at a hotel late at night and finds there is no clock in the room. Fortunately, this person has an AsteroidOS watch with nightstand mode. She uses the settings to select the kind of display that she would like to use for this and enables the mode. Then she puts the watch on its charging stand where it acts as sort of a bedside clock, prominently featuring the state of charge and the current time. She wears glasses and does not want to have to put them on to see the time, so she chooses a watchface that is high contrast and features large numbers for the time. Even with that, it's not always that easy to see the time, so it is configured so that at 3AM with no glasses, she can pick up the watch and bring it closer to note the time (ugh! 3AM!) and replace it on the stand within some configurable period of time with the watch not leaving nightstand mode.

Requirements

1. When nightstand mode is enabled, and the charger is connected (i.e. nightstand mode = on) change the display to show state of charge
2. When nightstand mode is on, display the time in a way that's clear even without glasses
3. The user should be able to enable/disable nightstand mode
4. The user should be able to select/configure the nightstand display
5. The user should be able to disconnect the charger for a brief period without changing from the nightstand display
6. After the brief period expires, the display should revert to the regular watchface
7. The duration of the brief period should be configurable from 0 to, say, 30 seconds
8. When nightstand mode is on, the display should rotate based on orientation

Thanks for the writeup beroset! Now I already understand the usecase a lot better ;)

Everything is now working as intended except for the orientation changing.

Changed the title accordingly to reflect that only the auto rotation is missing from the nightstand mode

I don't know if this would constitute another issue, but on catfish, if always-on display is not enabled, nightstand mode does not remain active. The LED display turns off, and the dual display LCD turns on. With AOD enabled, it appears to function as expected. But, I don't want to keep AOD on due to the battery drain during the day. This may be relevant on any other dual display configuration, but I am not sure if any such watches are currently supported.
