Display schema for SliMP3

I'm not sure what the display qualities of the Rio are - ie can it be
programatically updated as the Slim can?

I daresay there's room for a generic OSD schema but I deliberately
haven't put this into the generic MP3 receiver schema section. Maybe
it ought to be a member of xAP-OSD.xAP-Display along with the
Display.TiVo block.

Anyway, I thought I'd add Alignment to the optional fields in the
SliMP3.Display class:

Class=SliMP3.Display
Display.Update
{
Line1="Text to display"
--- Mandatory
Line2="Text to display"
--- Mandatory
Duration="Duration to display in seconds"
--- Mandatory

AlignLine1=[Left  Centre  Right]
--- Optional (Left aligntment is assumed if not present)
AlignLine2=[Left  Centre  Right]
--- Optional (Left aligntment is assumed if not present)
}

Whilst Alignment can be adjusted by including spaces in the text to be
displayed., the Alignment setting just gets the SlimConnector/display
software to do the work in one place rather than in every application
that uses this. It additionally decouples the code in the message
transmitting applications from the exact dimensions of the display.
