3.3.0 - Upgrade to latest Pylint, implement Black formatting

We have upgraded Pylint checks to use the latest version of Pylint and implemented usage of Black Python formatting. This does not change the functionality of the code - it is designed to bring it up to current standards and make it more readable.

• Remove pinned Pylint version number from build.yml file
• Synced .pylintrc file to match Adafruit standard
• Ran upgraded Pylint and applied any changes or new disables necessary
• Ran Black formatter and allowed application of changes across entire repo

For more information on using Pylint and Black on your code, check out this guide on working with Pylint and Black

3.2.2 - I2C fix, changed CI from Travis to GitHub Actions

This release includes:

• The constructors for Character_LCD_I2C and Character_LCD_RGB_I2C now take an optional address parameter to specify an alternate I2C address.
• Migrating this repository from Travis to GitHub Actions. This has no effect on the behavior of the code itself.

Added column_align Feature

Thanks to @profbrady for adding a new column_align feature that allows text with a newline character to align on the same column as the text above it. It also makes cursor_position work for the next message before resetting to 0,0.
