Added basic SPI control and SPI control of settings. Works well. Also re-named some of the examples to make it more clear
To use the additional pins, PB6 and PB7, on the ATmega328 we have to add some maps to the pins_arduino.h file. This allows Arduino to identify PB6 and digital pin 22, and PB7 as digital pin 23.
Code should now work on Serial7Segment hardware directly. Use the Serial_ColonDots example sketch to test it.

Awesome. Seems to be working really well. I like the hardware factory reset. Merging! |

Large merge. Please test.
With this merge, Serial7Segment hardware should now be fully supported using the SevSeg library. To prove this, find this line in Serial_7_Segment_Display_Firmware:
and change to:
Be sure you have the latest SevSeg library and compile and load onto a S7S hardware. Then, on an Arduino, load the Serial_ColonDots example code. Connect Pin 8 of Arduino to S7S. This will correctly control all segments and blink the colon, apostrophe, and decimal 4.
There are a few new features as well including hardware reset of baud and other. To test, pull the RX pin to ground, then power up S7S unit with nothing else attached. It will display '----'s for 4 seconds, then 0-000. The unit will then be reset to 9600bps.
