A new background rendering approach is used for smooth fonts which almost eliminates flicker. tft.print... can now be used with a background rendered for smooth fonts. Font_Demo_1/2/3... examples have been updated.
A new "docs" folder has been created and files moved there. The Tools folder now only contains support tools.
#1757 fixed by using Arduino calls.
A new USER_SETUP_ID parameter can be added to setup files and checked via a new verifySetupID(id); function.
Version raised to v2.4.50

The library has been cleaned up as it has got a bit untidy due to the large number of small incremental changes.
4bit Sprite examples renaed to be consistent with others.
alphaBlend example moved to generic folder (alphaBlend fn was moved to TFT_eSPI class).
Added sections + explanatory comments to functions prototypes.
Temporary comments added for potential gotchas for noobs when using DMA.
spi_begin/end functions renamed to reflect functionality. Old fns retained for backwards compatibility with user setup.h files.
Added SD card storage for smooth fonts with ESP32
ESP32 will use PSRAM (if available and enabled) to hold smooth font
