Final release (bar any bugfixes) of v3.1; All my TODO list items are resolved.

v3.1.31

Full Changelog: v3.1.25...v3.1.31

Functional changes since preveous release include

• Removed news service because it is not free but very expensive for all users. See #1
• Change to use latest Arduino json V7 library.
• Fix potential wait forever loop in OWMClient.
• Make Display Temperature also configurable, to allow for time only display.
• Add a "Do not scroll weather data display" option to display weather data fitting on one screen to NOT scroll but shown sequentially. This is the option for motion sensible persons.
• Add Config option: "Flash System LED on WiFi activity"; the blue onboard LED is quite bright, shining through the case and can be annoying.
