Add SH1106 OLED support (#5787)
* modify oled_driver to support SH1106 also: - improve mechanism to specify which OLED IC we use - comment calc_bounds() - give OLED_COLUMN_OFFSET a default value - inline comment re: OLED MEMORY_MODE and SH1106 - update docs/feature_oled_driver.h for SH1106 support and related changes - docs: OLED: note we have tested SSD1306 on ARM boards (per @XScorpion2) - define out MEMORY_MODE when using SH1106 OLED driver * document that SSD1306 128x64 on AVR works Per @XScorpion2: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/5787#discussion_r291837842

## OLED Supported Hardware
-128x32 OLED modules using SSD1306 driver IC over I2C. Supported on AVR based keyboards. Possible but untested hardware includes ARM based keyboards and other sized OLED modules using SSD1306 over I2C, such as 128x64.
+OLED modules using SSD1306 or SH1106 driver ICs, communicating over I2C.
+Tested combinations:
+
+| IC driver | Size | Keyboard Platform | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------------------|--------------------------|
+| SSD1306 | 128x32 | AVR | Primary support |
+| SSD1306 | 128x64 | AVR | Verified working |
+| SSD1306 | 128x32 | ARM | |
+| SH1106 | 128x64 | AVR | No rotation or scrolling |
+
+Hardware configurations using ARM-based microcontrollers or different sizes of OLED modules may be compatible, but are untested.
!> Warning: This OLED Driver currently uses the new i2c_master driver from split common code. If your split keyboard uses i2c to communication between sides this driver could cause an address conflict (serial is fine). Please contact your keyboard vendor and ask them to migrate to the latest split common code to fix this.
