Bas Stottelaar 7d73e8acaf pkg/ucglib: refactor the Ucglib package
- Passing RIOT-OS specific data as user_ptr
- Added necessary macros to Makefile.dep
- Added missing explicit dependency to xtimer module
- Added ucg_riotos.h with the RIOT-OS specific functionality
- Removed the now-obsolete patch of Ucglib
- Other minor fixes

# Ucglib
## Introduction
[Ucglib](https://github.com/olikraus/ucglib) is a color graphics library for LCDs and OLEDs. It contains both drivers and high-level drawing routines.
The library is originally written for Arduino boards, but it runs just fine on other platforms, as long as the right drivers are available.
## Usage
Just put `USEPKG += ucglib` in your Makefile and `#include "ucg.h"` to your code. Refer to the [Ucglib wiki](https://github.com/olikraus/ucglib/wiki) for more information on the API.
## RIOT-OS interface
This package patches the original source to add an interface for RIOT-OS.
Only the callback for SPI peripherals is supported:
* `ucg_com_hw_spi_riotos`
These methods require a structure containing peripheral information (`ucg_riotos_t`), that is set using the `ucg_SetUserPtr` function. This structure contains the peripheral and pin mapping.
If the above interface is not sufficient, it is still possible to write a dedicated interface by (re-)implementing the methods above. Refer to the [Ucglib wiki](https://github.com/olikraus/ucglib/wiki) for more information.
### Example
```c
ucg_t ucg;
ucg_riotos_t user_data =
{
.device_index = SPI_DEV(0),
.pin_cs = GPIO_PIN(PA, 0),
.pin_cd = GPIO_PIN(PA, 1),
.pin_reset = GPIO_PIN(PA, 2)
};
ucg_SetUserPtr(&ucg, &user_data);
ucg_Init(&ucg, ucg_dev_ssd1331_18x96x64_univision, ucg_ext_ssd1331_18, ucg_com_hw_spi_riotos);
```
## Virtual displays
For targets without SPI, a virtual display is available. Support for a virtual display is not compiled by default.
* By adding `USEMODULE += ucglib_sdl`, a SDL virtual display will be used. This is only available on native targets that have SDL2 installed. It uses `sdl2-config` to find the headers and libraries. Note that RIOT-OS builds 32-bit binaries and requires 32-bit SDL2 libraries.
### Example
```c
ucg_t ucg;
ucg_Init(&ucg, ucg_sdl_dev_cb, ucg_ext_none, NULL);
```
