This adds a bunch of stuff, some barely working. The core idea that I'm
adding now is that I'm redoing the way that we interact with the gpio
pins. Previously I had planned to use lgpio from abyz.me.uk/lg/ directly
and run this program *only* on the single-board computer with the GPIO
pins. Turns out I can instead run the lgpio project's rgpiod program on
the single-board computer and talk to it over the network.
This is way more stable and way faster for development, so that's what
I'm doing.
This is just a checkpoint.
