Ability to flip screen vertically #188

Currently when playing, you have to use the 4 arrow buttons with your right hand while playing, but most people are used to using their left hand for arrow keys. This makes it somewhat uncomfortable and difficult to play.

A solution that I think would work well is simply the ability to flip the screen upside down and play holding the calculator upside down. It's a comfortable position and it allows the left hand to use the arrow keys.

I've considered using 4 keys on the left as joystick and the arrows as buttons instead, but the travel distance between buttons was just too much.

I cloned the repo and started working on this myself, but if it's something that could be added simply into the main branch, I think that'd be pretty great.

This probably wouldn't be too hard to implement with some extra LCD commands. I've already been making some updates to things related to LCD refresh, so I'll look into implementing this on the development branch sometime.
