The `fmt::Display` implementation for bitfields uses Unicode box-drawing
characters. In some contexts, where Unicode is not supported or
box-drawing characters are not rendered nicely, it may be desirable to
use an ASCII-only version of the multi-line format, instead. Therefore,
in addition to the `Display` implementation, this commit adds a new
generated `display_ascii` method to bitfield types. `display_ascii`
returns an `impl fmt::Display` value that renders the bitfield in an
ASCII-only version of the multi-line format.

The ASCII-only format also uses slightly fewer horizontal characters
than the Unicode box-drawing format, so it may also be useful in cases
where text fields have limited width.

For example:

```
00000000000000000011010110011110
..............................10 ENUM_VALUE: Baz
........................100111.. SOME_BITS: 39
.......................1........ FLAG_1: true
......................0......... FLAG_2: false
..............00001101.......... A_BYTE: 13
```

This was added primarily in order to allow displaying page fault error
codes nicely in mycelium's oops screen, because the `embedded_graphics`
crate doesn't render Unicode box-drawing characters.

Debugging page faults in Mycelium is currently a bit difficult, because
the oops message doesn't display the virtual address at which the page
fault occurred. We can fix this quite easily by reading the `cr2`
control register, which contains the linear address of the page fault.

This commit changes the generated bitfield types to default to using the
ASCII `fmt::Display` multi-line format, with the Unicode format
selectable using the alt-mode formatting specifier (`{:#}`). This is to
make it easier for downstream callers to select which format is used.

The `display_ascii()` method can be used to select ASCII only regardless
of a downstream caller's format specifier, and a similar
`display_unicode()` method is added to guarantee Unicode formatting.

I don't think this should be considered a breaking change, since
existing code will still compile, and I don't consider the output of
human-readable formats not intended for machine consumption to be part
of the semver API surface. But, it will change the default behavior...
