Fixes Issue #41

To use disappearing menus, add to the pyEfis yaml, under the section: menu: show_time:

The default behavior if each button, if the menu is hidden, is to simply make the menu appear again. To over-ride the behavior, add one or two booleans to the menu entry definition. The first boolean is called "show_menu". If set to true, it will cause the menu to be displayed again if hidden. The second boolean is "perform_blind". If set to True, the menu action is performed even if the menu was previously hidden.

show_menu  |   perform_blind  | State of Menu |  Action
-----------|------------------|---------------|------------------------
  True     |  False           | Showing       | Menu action performed.
  True     |  False           | Hidden        | Menu re-appears.
  True     |  True            | Showing       | Menu action performed.
  True     |  True            | Hidden        | Menu re-appears. Menu action performed.
  False    |  True            | Showing       | Menu action performed.
  False    |  True            | Hidden        | Menu Stays hidden. Menu action performed.
  False    |  False           | Showing       | Menu action performed.
  False    |  False           | Hidden        | Button ignored.

Example where show_menu and perform_blind are both set True:

  menus:
      PFDMenu:
        - ['Baro', 'set menu focus', BARO, True, True]    # Add optional flags after 'args' for a menu entry
