Add support for grayscale displays that are < 8 bit depth.
This also improves Palette so it stores the original RGB888 colors.

Lastly, it adds I2CDisplay as a display bus to talk over I2C. Particularly
useful for the SSD1306.

Fixes #1828. Fixes #1956

Rework the pixel computation to use areas
This changes the displayio pixel computation from per-pixel to
per-area. This is precursor work to updating portions of the screen
(#1169). It should provide mild speedups because bounds checks are
done once per area rather than once per pixel. Filling by area also
allows TileGrid to maintain a row-associative fill pattern even when
the display's refresh is orthogonal to it.

Introduce displayio to render graphics to displays.
It's designed to minimize RAM footprint by using Sprites to
represent objects on the screen. The object model also facilitates
partial screen updating which reduces the bandwidth needed to display.

This is all handled in C. Python simply manipulates the objects with
the ability to synchronize to frame timing.
