Refine 7-segment backpack to use inverted digits, and filled out clock example #93

This could benefit from better handling of colons and dots, but that's already affected by which backpack / display is used.

No problem; thanks for the credit! To derive the digits I just figured out which segments to light for each digit and converted binary to hex with a calculator app. More trial and error than anything else though :)

Note, I've added a similar change to another Adafruit repo for these displays that seems to be completely different code: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_LED_Backpack/pull/5 As I'm now also using an alphanumeric display backpack on my project I might also take a swing at doing invert for that display too, or maybe make a more generic change to the base class.
