graphictest_kbv.ino: shows all the methods.

MCUFRIEND_kbv inherits all the methods from
the Adafruit_GFX class: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-gfx-graphics-library/overview
and Print class: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Serial/Print

The only "new" methods are hardware related:
vertScroll(), readGRAM(), readPixel(), setAddrWindow(), pushColors(), readID(), begin()

readReg(), pushCommand() access the controller registers
