Both the string and image rendering may want to take advantage of
scrolling and sequential display capabilities. Consolidate the APIs so
that there's a single one for images (mb_display_image) and a single
one for strings (mb_display_print). Both take a duration parameter for
the per-frame duration as well as a mode parameter which specifies
sequential vs scrolling behavior as well as an optional looping flag.

Reorder the struct members for more compact layout. The current row
tracker tracks just values 0 to 2 so uint8_t is more than enough for
it.

We don't need to store copies of the current and next image when
scrolling text, since looking up the font is just as efficient and
also consumes less memory.

Add a helper function to reset the state of the display, and make use
of it from the various public functions. This also ensures that the
timer is stopped before starting a new display routine.

Add an empty column between characters of scrolling text so that the
individual characters are more easily distinguishable instead of being
back-to-back mashed together.
Also adjust the default scrolling step interval so that the character
display frequency stays roughly the same as before.

Add a new mb_display_print() API which takes printf-style parameters
and outputs scrolling text instead of one character at a time. The
existing mb_display_str() API is renamed to mb_display_string() for
consistency, and now also takes printf-style parameters.

Adds a simple driver to access the 5x5 LED display found on BBC
micro:bit boards. The display is so limited that no effort is done to
try to integrate with the existing console (which would likely make
the display unusable). Instead, dedicated mb_display_* APIs are added
that are specific to this display.
