gbadisplay: add simple driver for the GameBoy Advance display

This only implements the 15 bits per pixel mode, not any of the other
possible display modes. This matches conventional SPI displays most
closely. Future additions might add more display modes.

Normally I'd argue interfacing with chip/board specific hardware should
be done in the machine package using a generic interface, but the GBA is
kind of special and I don't want the machine package to depend on the
tinygo.org/x/drivers/pixel package.
