Custom character definition

Adds a routine to define custom character bitmaps into the controller's 8 custom character slots. Example usage:

lcd=new TextLCD(D8, D9, D4, D5, D6, D7);

char c_H[]={0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1f,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b}; char c_e[]={0x0,0x0,0xe,0x1b,0x1f,0x18,0x18,0xf}; char c_l[]={0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6,0x6}; char c_o[]={0x0,0x0,0xe,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0xe}; char c_W[]={0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1f,0x1f,0x1f,0x1b}; char c_r[]={0x0,0x0,0xe,0x1b,0x18,0x18,0x18,0x18}; char c_d[]={0x3,0x3,0xf,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0x1b,0xf};

lcd->defineChar(1, c_H); lcd->putc(1); lcd->defineChar(2, c_e); lcd->putc(2); lcd->defineChar(3, c_l); lcd->putc(3); lcd->putc(3); lcd->defineChar(4, c_o); lcd->putc(4); lcd->putc(32); lcd->defineChar(5, c_W); lcd->putc(5); lcd->putc(4); lcd->defineChar(6, c_r); lcd->putc(6); lcd->putc(3); lcd->defineChar(7, c_d); lcd->putc(7);
