Add support for dot #1

Most seven segment displays come with an eighth segment, the dot. Please add support for that to this crate.

I considered this, but I concluded it's not actually needed, as the API would be the same as manually setting the pin outside of this crate. But maybe I'm missing something and there's something that'd make it simpler? In that case, I'm willing to reevaluate the idea.

That is a good point. I think this only makes sense if the API is extended by a way of controlling multiple SSDs. However I'm not convinced that that would be a good Idea.

Yeah, closing for now. One idea was to add a higher-level API capable of displaying decimal numbers, but I'd implement it in another crate as that is a concern of another layer.
