Interface IPixelBuffer

IPixelBuffer provides a standard interface for representing the display state of a device capable of displaying pixels. It specifies methods for performing common primitive operations on a buffer of pixel data.

Conceptually, implementing classes should:

1. Specify a bit depth for pixels
2. Specify a color mode
3. Preserve the display state as a byte[] in the PixelBuffer
4. Optimize primitive drawing methods for the bit depth of pixels
5. Be abstracted/decoupled from a specific device driver
