This is small update involving increasing the number of 7-segment displays available.

By adding an 3-to-8 decoder and inverters, it is possible to make an 8-character multiplexed segment, and at the same time use one less pin on the FPGA board.

The update is mostly cosmetic, but it also somewhat useful for showing internal states, and just to have directly controllable and simple display.
