DisplayThings

This is a new codebase for my DisplayThings project, based on https://www.youtube.com/@Mr4thProgramming and the raddebugger codebase. So, why start a new codebase? Well, the main goal of this codebase is education. Specifically, learning about the different technologies that make up a modern computer system. To achieve my goal of making high-performant and power-efficient applications, I need to be at least aware of these technologies and what they do, so what better way to learn than to start from the very foundations. Not Turing Machine levels of foundations, but bits and bytes, hardware components, operating systems, etc. So, rather than relying on third-party libraries (not counting native OS libraries), I'll start from scratch. That is the Handmade way...
