Add support for 2.8" ILI9341 (320x240) based screens #94

Closed ric2b closed 4 years ago

Adds support for these screens:

It's largely based on the existing class for the ST7735. I'm using an original Raspberry Pi A and the creation of the byte array before sending to the display was quite slow (several seconds) so I improved it's performance by using the Pillow .tobytes() method, it now takes roughly 1 second for each screen refresh.

I did not add support for the touchscreen functionality that these screens have.

(I'll have time on friday to fix the issues with the tests and coverage)

P.s. there is a Travis job that does flake8 linting, and it’s flagged up a few things that need fixing, see https://travis-ci.org/rm-hull/luma.lcd/jobs/615667704#L539.

Ok, I think it's ready for merging, don't know if you want to take another look at it :)
