added ChangeI2cAddress example

-Also added a getAddress public function to access the private variable "_i2cAddr". I wanted this so I could print it directly in the example and verify the change.

+  SerLCD Library - Change I2C address
+  Pete Lewis - August 18, 2020
+
+  This example demonstrates how to change the i2c address on your LCD.
+  Note, once you change the address, then you will need to call ".begin()" again.
+
+  There is a set range of available addresses from 0x07 to 0x78, so make sure your
+  chosen address falls within this range.
+
+  The next thing to note is that when you change the address you'll
+  need to call .begin again to talk to that screen.
+
+  Finally if for some reason you've forgotten your new address. No big deal, run a
+  hardware reset on your screen to get it back to the default address (0x72).
+  To cause a hardware reset, simply tie the RX pin LOW, and they cycle power
+  (while continuing to hold RX low). Then release RX, and cycle power again.
+
+  The circuit:
+   SparkFun RGB OpenLCD Serial display connected through
+   a SparkFun Qwiic cable/adpater to an qwiic-enabled Arduino.
+
+  The Qwiic adapter should be attached to the display as follows:
+  Display	/ Qwiic Cable Color
+ 	GND	/	Black
+ 	RAW	/	Red
+ 	SDA	/	Blue
+ 	SCL	/	Yellow
+
+  Note: If you connect directly to a 5V Arduino instead, you *MUST* use
+  a level-shifter to convert the i2c voltage levels down to 3.3V for the display.
+
+  This code is based on the LiquidCrystal code originally by David A. Mellis
+  and the OpenLCD code by Nathan Seidle at SparkFun.
+
+  Also based off the original Arduino Library code with many contributions from
+  Gaston Williams - August 29, 2018

+  Some code/comments/ideas ported from the Qwiic Quad Relay Arduino Library
