Added Pegasus as alternative to Kodi and EmulationStation. The list of available auto-start front-ends is now dynamic, based on whether Kodi and Pegasus are available.
Since the static binaries provided upstream are no longer working on newer RaspiOS or on 32bit ARM, create a standard scriptmodule to build Pegasus with `pegasus-fe-dev`. The new scriptmodule is meant to work similarly to the `es`/`es-dev` pair, only one can work at a time and they share a set of common functions. Modified the original scriptmodule and added a theme download function, using @mmatyas's themes. More can be found at [2]. Notes: * the `pegasus-fe` launcher doesn't need the previous TTY set-up, it's now handled by `runcommand`. * sometimes the `/dev/dri/card0` is not the right card node since the order of the `cardX` inodes is not guaranteed. Find the right card node dynamically (see [1]) and tell Qt about it with a minimal config file used in the launcher [1] https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=351263 [2] https://github.com/mmatyas/pegasus-theme-gallery-db/blob/master/repos.txt
