Switch to 'Display' from 'Buildable' #13

Looks like display package provides more efficient conversion. Also, text-show is not maintained.

See this conversation for reference.

After some thoughts and discussions it become clear that this migration is not an option, unfortunately, because ByteString.Builder doesn't have IsString instance (and probably can't have). So this issue is postponed untill Builder from text-show will be moved to text package:
