Danila Yudin 63e92ec74e fix: make script help paths lightweight (#1937)
## 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

This directory is intended for project specific (private) libraries.
PlatformIO will compile them to static libraries and link into the executable file.

The source code of each library should be placed in a separate directory
("lib/your_library_name/[Code]").

For example, see the structure of the following example libraries `Foo` and `Bar`:

|--lib
|  |
|  |--Bar
|  |  |--docs
|  |  |--examples
|  |  |--src
|  |     |- Bar.c
|  |     |- Bar.h
|  |  |- library.json (optional. for custom build options, etc) https://docs.platformio.org/page/librarymanager/config.html
|  |
|  |--Foo
|  |  |- Foo.c
|  |  |- Foo.h
|  |
|  |- README --> THIS FILE
|
|- platformio.ini
|--src
   |- main.c

Example contents of `src/main.c` using Foo and Bar:
```
#include <Foo.h>
#include <Bar.h>

int main (void)
{
  ...
}

```

The PlatformIO Library Dependency Finder will find automatically dependent
libraries by scanning project source files.
