Possibly rotate the LCD 180 degrees #41

When brightness is low, the LCD in it's current orientation looks better when tilted "forward" (when the ribbon cable is at the "bottom") as if the LCD was a laptop screen which is closer to parallel to the user's body. It may be a good idea to rotate the LCD 180 degrees.

See #32.

The software work for this is probably pretty simple:

This has bunches of implications for the board design, but it may be possible to configure the LCD, DE0, and DABO so that the mounting points in the enclosure are just rotated 180 degrees and otherwise the enclosure is the same.
