Update v1.13

The section specifier for the font array will change for U8lib v1.13. For any custom fonts the old section specifier

U8G_SECTION(".progmem.fontname")

should be replaced by

U8G_FONT_SECTION("fontname")

U8glib v1.13 already contains the correct section specifier. The new version of bdf2u8g will also generate the new section specifier.
