Add chart plugin to be used with displays #809

As mentioned in #804 The OLED displays are used by lots of people (and I am a fan of them also ;) ) I think it would be nice to extend the OLED Framed plugin to add support for charts. But extending that plugin to support all kinds of charts would probably cause lots of issues on storage, complexity, etc. So I was thinking about adding a new plugin which can collect data from sensors and generate a chart from it. This chart can then be placed on a single page (or line) on the OLED framed. By defining it as a plugin, you can also use more than one.

These should also be callable via http requests to supply data to chart. This makes it possible to show historic data without having to store it in the ESP.
