TextBox for embedded-graphics

This crate provides a configurable `TextBox` to render multiline text using [embedded-graphics].

`TextBox` supports the common text alignments:
 - `LeftAligned`
 - `RightAligned`
 - `CenterAligned`
 - `Justified`

### Example


The examples are based on [the embedded-graphics simulator]. The simulator is built on top of
`SDL2`. See the [simulator README] for more information.

![embedded-text example with center aligned text](assets/center.png)

```rust
use embedded_graphics_simulator::{
    BinaryColorTheme, OutputSettingsBuilder, SimulatorDisplay, Window,
};

use embedded_graphics::{
    fonts::Font6x8, pixelcolor::BinaryColor, prelude::*, primitives::Rectangle,
};

use embedded_text::{alignment::CenterAligned, style::TextBoxStyleBuilder, TextBox};

fn main() -> Result<(), core::convert::Infallible> {
    let mut display: SimulatorDisplay<BinaryColor> = SimulatorDisplay::new(Size::new(129, 129));

    let textbox_style = TextBoxStyleBuilder::new(Font6x8)
        .alignment(CenterAligned)
        .text_color(BinaryColor::On)
        .build();

    TextBox::new(
        "Hello, World!\nLorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.",
        Rectangle::new(Point::zero(), Point::new(128, 128)),
    )
    .into_styled(textbox_style)
    .draw(&mut display)
    .unwrap();

    let output_settings = OutputSettingsBuilder::new()
        .theme(BinaryColorTheme::OledBlue)
        .build();
    Window::new("Hello center aligned TextBox", &output_settings).show_static(&display);
    Ok(())
}
```

## Development setup


### Minimum supported Rust version

The minimum supported Rust version for embedded-text is 1.40.0 or greater. However, the documentation uses the `intra-crate links` feature which requires nightly Rust. Ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed, preferably through https://rustup.rs.

### Installation


For setup in general, follow the installation instructions for [embedded-graphics].

To install SDL2 on Windows, see https://github.com/Rust-SDL2/rust-sdl2#windows-msvc
