sample "Hello World" text to one.

Building and Running
********************

Note that this sample requires a board with an auxiliary display setup. A
sample overlay is provided for the `nucleo_f746zg` board fly-wired to a Hitachi
HD44780-compatible 20 character by 4 line display. See the overlay file
:zephyr_file:`samples/drivers/auxdisplayboards/nucleo_f746zg.overlay` for
wiring configuration.
