Splash screen not redirected to MY_DEBUGDEVICE

I have a fix for this. It's only a couple lines in MySplashScreen.cpp. However, in working on this I uncovered something related. displaySplashScreen is called before the sketch's setup(). If someone is using a soft serial port, that port will not be started until after the splash screen is displayed. This makes the splash screen disappear into a black hole.

Should I start a PR for this issue, #1057, as originally stated?

Should I create a separate issue for the problem of the order of displaySplashScreen and setup()?

I would prefer to separate issues, if they are not related in any way.

As noted in #1207 , if using a software serial device as MY_DEBUGDEVICE, then it needs to initialized in preHwInit() for the splash screen to work. Later functions like before() and setup() happen after the splash screen has already been displayed.

void preHwInit()
{
  SoftSerial.begin(9600);
}
