feat: write raw byte. #10

This is a simple passthrough to the method on the controller. Most users probably won't want it, but when a max7219 is connected to a dot-matrix display and used as a display with embedded_graphics it may make sense to be able to address the display in the smallest possible unit. (For instance, an efficient display updating algorithm can keep the previous state in a framebuffer and only send the commands needed to update those bytes which have changed.)

The alternative of making the connector public seems much more drastic.

Thanks for the library!

Sure, I'll do it after work today.
