This PR adds a displayio driver library for GC9A01 THT-LCD displays to the community bundle. I think I got all of the pieces put together, but please let me know if there is something that needs to change or be added!

It was extremely similar to the ST7789 but it seems like there are some different setup commands to run. If I try using the other ST77xx Adafruit CircuitPython libraries, the display doesn't seem to initialize correctly, just slowly fading the screen to a grey mess 😅

This is the datasheet for the GC9A01 that I found: https://www.buydisplay.com/download/ic/GC9A01A.pdf
