Proposal to add the "missing" .end() method to cleanly put the HT16K33 in standby mode.

I needed this for a very low power application where the display is off most of the time. Without setting the HT16K33 to standby mode, it consumes ~100uA (no LED on) extra. (reduction from 130uA to 30uA with a ATmega328P in power-down mode).
