Subject: [PATCH] Fix build: restore global File alias hidden by TFT_eSPI's
 FS_NO_GLOBALS

TFT_eSPI's default User_Setup.h enables SMOOTH_FONT, which makes it
define FS_NO_GLOBALS before including FS.h. Any TU that includes
ST7735Display.h before SPIFFS.h/FS.h (e.g. simple_repeater MyMesh.h via
target.h) then loses the global File/FS aliases and fails to compile.
Re-export the fs:: aliases right after including TFT_eSPI.h.
