fix(web): drop the rows cap and document every display setting accurately
Rows: no upper limit in the form or the API. Still even and at least 8. The current rgbmatrix library rejects more than 64 per panel, so a larger value saves but the matrix won't start; the help tip, README, config reference and troubleshooting section all say so, and nothing here needs changing if the library lifts the limit. limit_refresh_rate_hz: the form accepts 0 (the library's "no cap"), a stored 0 no longer renders and re-saves as 120, and the API rejects negatives. pwm_dither_bits stays 0-2: the library rejects 3 and 4, so the old form's 0-4 only ever let users save a config the display couldn't start with. Docs and help tips, checked against the pinned library and its README: - panel_type and rp1_rio get README entries - show_refresh_rate prints to stdout; it never drew on the panel - dither bits raise the refresh rate; the tip said they lowered it - scan_mode is about interlacing at low refresh, not wrong colours - disable_hardware_pulsing: hardware pulsing needs OE on GPIO 18 and the onboard sound driver off; software timing makes rows flash brighter - gpio_slowdown guidance agrees between the README and the UI - all 22 multiplexing values listed; every numeric setting states its range - troubleshooting for a blank panel after a settings change, jumping rows and brightness flashes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
