New common 5x8 font for t6963, sed1520, mdm166a and i2500vfd. It resembles

the original font of the HD44780 with European character set, but includes
only characters from ISO 8859-1 and has been extended with bar graph and icons.

The t6963 driver now has its size to be configured in pixels! The size in
characters is automatically calculated based on the cell size. This makes
internal calculations more easy.
