lcdks: renamed from sainsmartks, added backlight support

Browse Source 
The sainsmartks driver has been reimplemented in it's own, new C/C++
library: lcdks (LCD Keypad Shield).

In addition, support for an optional backlight GPIO was added.

This was tested with the SainsmartKS and DFRobot LCD Keypad Shields.

# current master
* **sainsmartks** This driver has been renamed to *lcdks* (LCD Keypad
Shield) and moved into it's own library. It uses the *lcm1602*
library to do most of it's work. In addition, an additional argument
was added to the constructor to optionally allow specifying a GPIO
pin to be used to control the backlight. This driver supports the
SainsmartKS and DFRobot LCD Keypad Shields. Similiar devices from
other manufacturers should also work with this driver.
* **lcm1602/jhd1313m1** These drivers had been rewritten in C, with
C++ wrappers and placed into their own libraries in the previous
version of UPM, however, the original C++ implementation was kept in
the lcd/i2clcd library for compatibility reasons with existing code.
To avoid collisions with the header files, the new *lcm1602* and
*jhd1313m1* drivers had their C++ headers renamed to use a **.hxx**
suffix.
In this version of UPM, the *lcm1602* and *jhd1313m1* drivers have
been removed from the lcd/i2clcd library. In addition, the header
files for the new implementation have been renamed from their **.hxx**
suffix to the normal **.hpp** suffix.
A change was also made to the new *lcm1602* and *jhd1313m1* C++
drivers. The *createChar()* function now accepts a byte vector
*std::vector<uint8_t>* rather than the *char ** pointer that was
used previously. This should make it easier to use with the SWIG
language bindings (Python, Javascript, and especially Java).
* **bmp280/bme280** Some private methods are no longer exposed
(such as the calibration and compensation routines). In addition,
the *getHumidity()* method no longer accepts an argument representing
