pitft: Add basic support for PiTFT

Add basic support for PiTFT display by using device-trees.

In order get it working below configurations must be active in
local.conf:

MACHINE_FEATURES += "pitft"
 - This will enable SPI bus and i2c device-trees, it will also setup
   framebuffer for console and x server on PiTFT.

[Support #70]

+3.N. Enable PiTFT support
+=========================
+Basic support for using PiTFT screens can be enabled by adding
+below in local.conf:
+
+MACHINE_FEATURES += "pitft"
+  - This will enable SPI bus and i2c device-trees, it will also setup
+    framebuffer for console and x server on PiTFT.
+
+NOTE: To get this working the overlay for the PiTFT model must be build,
+      added and specified as well (dtoverlay=<driver> in config.txt)
+
