Display Mode in the sim and MIP devices shouldn't have Always Active

On a MIP display, it is always active.  They do have low power mode, which changes how often the display updates and allows for onPartialUpdate on devices that support it.

I think for MIP devices, "Always Active" should be changed back to "low power"

  • I do think there's room for clarification in the docs and UI.

    For example, the diagram and accompanying text I pasted from the docs (in the Low- and High-Power Modes section) implies but does not outright state that low power mode is synonymous with Always Active Mode / Always On Mode in the diagram. The diagram and text could use some clarification to make the connection explicit.

    In the sim UI, the Display Mode, labels could be changed to something like:

    MIP: High Power, Always-Active / Low Power

    AMOLED: High Power, Always-On / Low Power, Off
