Release 3.4.0 - Line graphs & bugfix

[mathoudebine]

New feature: line graphs!

Thanks to @hicwic's PR #371 the System Monitor program now supports line graphs!

The line graph feature has been added to many metrics like: CPU/GPU/Disk/Memory usage, temperature, CPU Fan speed, FPS...
Check https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/blob/main/res/themes/theme_example.yaml and look for LINE_GRAPH key:

      LINE_GRAPH:
        SHOW: False
        X: 300
        Y: 220
        WIDTH: 133
        HEIGHT: 70
        MIN_VALUE: 0
        MAX_VALUE: 100
        HISTORY_SIZE: 10
        AUTOSCALE: False
        LINE_COLOR: 61, 184, 225
        AXIS: True
        AXIS_COLOR: 255, 135, 0
        # BACKGROUND_COLOR: 0, 0, 0
        BACKGROUND_IMAGE: background.png

The history size (number of previous values displayed on the graph) can be adjusted for its data.
With AUTOSCALE: True the line graph Y axis will constantly adjust to the min/max displayed values, otherwise set MIN_VALUE/ MAX_VALUE for a static Y axis
Graph axis can be show or hidden with AXIS: True / False and set to a specific color with AXIS_COLOR (default to the LINE_COLOR if not set)

New themes:

This release comes with 2 new themes that use the line graph functionality:

Cyberdeck theme (3.5 inch)

@hicwic released the theme he made for his Cyberdeck project

Check this discussion #374 for more details and final prototype!

Task Manager theme (5 inch)

This theme takes full advantage of the line graph feature, and is inspired by the (in)famous Windows Task Manager
