Screen, system, and widget fixes

Two of these relate to the display, with one of those being a fix for screen flickering and sudden shutdown issues under certain conditions, and the other fixing an issue that could occasionally cause a frozen or fuzzy display.

Theres also a fix for a bug that could occasionally cause system instability under certain conditions, and an issue where a semi-transparent background would persist after the camera was launched.

The final two fixes include one for an issue where the flashlight status
would not appear on the At a Glance widget, and one for a system crash when starting or stopping casting with the Media Output Switcher.

It doesnt sound like any of these bugs were affecting everyone, or were happening all the time, but if any of them affected you its definitely worth grabbing this update as soon as possible. But even if you havent experienced these bugs, wed still recommend downloading this update to ensure they dont start happening.
