Daniel Thompson 231f3b6fdd apps: software: Add an apps to enable/disable other apps
Currently wasp-os enables a narrow set of applications because we don't
want to consume RAM by importing the module and constructing the
application. We can improve on this situation by providing a small
(stateless) application that can be used to enable or diable applications.
This allows all the ROMed applications to be enabled using the GUI
without compromising on the ability to develop applications.

In fact this application significantlly reduces the RAM consumed in the
default case becasue the Self Test app does not need to maintain its
state.
