Terminal simulation of blinkt library

[druck13]

This is s small routine which can be used to test out code intended for use with a blinkt panel, but either without the hardware installed on the machine, or if using a Raspberry Pi remotely via VNC or ssh. Instead it simulates the blinkt display by drawing coloured squares on a Linux terminal.

To Use:
If a file called blinkt.py is in the current directory it will be used by programs in that directory instead of the real blink library. The easiest way to do this is to create a soft link to fake_blinkt.py.

ln -s fake_blinkt.py blinkt.py

After testing and to use the real blink library, just delete the link with rm blinkt.py

If the terminal does not support true colour output, set _true_color = False at line 6.

Thanks. This will be extremely broken and conflicted by #102 so I'm closing it for now, but feel free to poke things when the ported library is ready. (Still waiting on an official release of gpiod)
