feat(app): allow external apps to hide statusbar via manifest flags

- Add parseAppFlagsString() in AppManifestParsing.cpp to parse comma-separated flags (HideStatusBar, Hidden, None)
- Parse [app]flags in V1 and app.flags in V2 manifests
- Loader already supports HideStatusBar, GuiService hides statusbarWidget when set
- Enables fullscreen for ELF apps (e.g. BibleVerse, BookPlayer) without firmware recompilation of internal manifests
- Add tests for flag parsing (38 tests passing)
- Tested on es3c28p /dev/cu.usbmodem1101 @ 192.168.68.133 with HelloWorld app
