auxdisplay: hd44780: move cursor home after clear display command

The DISPLAY_CLEAR command on the NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 display
does NOT change the DDRAM address to 00h (home position) like the
standard Hitachi HD44780 controller. As a consequence, the starting
position of the initial string LCD_INIT_TEXT is not guaranteed to be
at 0,0 depending on where the cursor was before the DISPLAY_CLEAR
command.

Extract of DISPLAY_CLEAR command from datasheets of:

Hitachi HD44780:
... It then sets DDRAM address 0 into the address counter...

NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 datasheet:
... This instruction does not change the DDRAM Address

Move the cursor home after sending DISPLAY_CLEAR command to support
non-standard LCDs.

auxdisplay: Change gotoxy calling interface

Change the calling interface for gotoxy from supplying the x and y
coordinates in the charlcd struct to explicitly supplying x and y in
the function arguments. This is more intuitive and allows for moving
the cursor to positions independent from the position saved in the
charlcd struct.

auxdisplay: hd44780_common: Reduce clear_display timeout

Digging in the hd44780 datasheet revealed that the timeout needed after
clearing the whole display is only 1,64ms not 15ms. So we can reduce
that timeout.

auxdisplay: Move char redefine code to hd44780_common

Take the code to redefine characters out of charlcd and move it to
hd44780_common, as this is hd44780 specific.
There is now a function hd44780_common_redefine_char that drivers use
and charlcd calls it through its ops function pointer.

auxdisplay: implement various hd44780_common_ functions

This implements various hd44780_common_ functions for hd44780 compatible
display drivers to use. charlcd then calls these functions through its
ops function pointer.
The functions namely are:
- hd44780_common_shift_cursor
- hd44780_common_display_shift
- hd44780_common_display
- hd44780_common_cursor
- hd44780_common_blink
- hd44780_common_fontsize
- hd44780_common_lines

auxdisplay: Move init_display to hd44780_common

The init_display function is moved over to hd44780_common. charlcd uses
it via its ops function pointer and drivers initialize the ops with the
common hd44780_common_init_display function.

auxdisplay: Move clear_display to hd44780_common

This moves the clear_display function from charlcd to hd44780_common.
This is one more step to make charlcd independent from device specific
code. The two hd44780 drivers use the new function from hd44780_common
and charlcd calls this function through its function pointer in its ops
structure.

auxdisplay: add home to charlcd_ops

This adds a home function to the charlcd_ops struct and offer an
implementation for hd44780_common. This implementation is used by our
two hd44780 drivers. This is to make charlcd device independent.

auxdisplay: hd44780_common_print

We create a hd44780_common_print function. It is derived from the
original charlcd_print. charlcd_print becomes a device independent print
function, that then only calls via its ops function pointers, into the
print function offered by drivers.

auxdisplay: Move ifwidth to struct hd44780_common

Move struct charlcd member ifwidth to our new struct hd44780_common.
ifwidth is hd44780 device specific and is used by two drivers at the
moment, so we move it to a common place, where both can use this.

auxdisplay: Move hwidth and bwidth to struct hd44780_common

hwidth is for the hardware buffer size and bwidth is for the buffer
width of one single line. This is specific to the hd44780 displays and
so it is moved out from charlcd to struct hd44780_common.

auxdisplay: Introduce hd44780_common.[ch]

There is some hd44780 specific code in charlcd and this code is used by
multiple drivers. To make charlcd independent from this device specific
code this has to be moved to a place where the multiple drivers can
share their common code. This common place is now introduced as
hd44780_common.
