## Summary
Consolidate the script help/startup fixes so standalone helper commands
can show usage without requiring runtime-only dependencies or generating
files.
## Details
Several helper scripts imported optional packages, evaluated newer
annotations, or started generation before users could inspect CLI usage.
On a fresh checkout, this made common help paths fail on missing
packages such as `cairosvg`, `Pillow`, `freetype-py`, `fontTools`,
`pyphen`, `pyserial`, or on Python 3.9 annotation evaluation. A few
generators also treated `--help` as a normal output argument and wrote
files instead of printing usage.
This change keeps runtime dependencies on the code paths that need them,
handles lightweight help/list commands first, and adds explicit `--help`
handling for generator scripts that previously started work.
## Validation
- `python3 <script> --help` across tracked Python scripts, excluding
`scripts/patch_jpegdec.py` because it is a PlatformIO pre-build hook
rather than a standalone CLI
- `python3 scripts/convert_icon.py` still exits with usage for missing
required arguments
- `python3 lib/EpdFont/scripts/fontconvert_sdcard.py --list-presets`
- `python3 -m py_compile` for the changed scripts

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Add Spanish language hyphenation
support to improve text rendering for Spanish books.
* **What changes are included?**
- Added Spanish hyphenation trie (`hyph-es.trie.h`) generated from
Typst's hypher patterns
- Registered `spanishHyphenator` in `LanguageRegistry.cpp` for language
tag `es`
- Added Spanish to the hyphenation evaluation test suite
- Added Spanish test data file with 5000 test cases
## Additional Context
* **Test Results:** Spanish hyphenation achieves 99.02% F1 Score (97.72%
perfect matches out of 5000 test cases)
* **Compatibility:** Works automatically for EPUBs with
`<dc:language>es</dc:language>` (or es-ES, es-MX, etc.)

## Summary
* Adds (optional) Hyphenation for English, French, German, Russian
languages
## Additional Context
* Included hyphenation dictionaries add approximately 280kb to the flash
usage (German alone takes 200kb)
* Trie encoded dictionaries are adopted from hypher project
(https://github.com/typst/hypher)
* Soft hyphens (and other explicit hyphens) take precedence over
dict-based hyphenation. Overall, the hyphenation rules are quite
aggressive, as I believe it makes more sense on our smaller screen.
