Added feature to write strings from PROGMEM with F() macro. #34

To save precious RAM I added an overloading function to the oledWriteString function that accepts the F() macro i.e. strings to be displayed can be stored in flash memory.

This change will break the build on Linux because the code is really C and not C++. It also only applies to AVR.

I have stopped development on ss_oled and am actively working on 'OneBitDisplay' now. You may keep this change for your own work, but I will not merge it. You can also write a simple helper function which copies the PROGMEM data into RAM and then calls oledWriteString().
