Add VDP_drawTextClear #367

Clears the field of characters and draws new text.

If the new line is shorter than the one previously drawn in this place, the old characters will be removed. This function works significantly faster than calling VDP_clearText() and then VDP_drawText(). It is suitable when a lot of updating information needs to be displayed on the screen. I use it to output debugging information since I don't have the ability to use Gens KMod.

Thanks for the contribution, I modified a bit the method to remove the 20 characters limitation.
