Add a method to read the OLED display buffer from user space (#8777)

* Adding extern and declaration

* Change to mediated buffer read

* Adding raw byte read

* Restore write raw... D'Oh

* Working struct return

* Pack that struct

* Remove conditional packing and add example to docs

* Cleanup tab/spaces

* Update docs/feature_oled_driver.md

Prettify formatting

* Update drivers/oled/oled_driver.h
