Chen Xingyu dc4e259dde samples: drivers: Add auxdisplay_digits sample
This commit introduces a new sample for the Auxiliary display driver.

The sample demonstrates counting from 0 to 1000, with an interval of 100ms
between each increment.

This sample primarily serves to demonstrate the capabilities of segment
displays.

:name: Auxiliary digits display

Output increasing numbers to an auxiliary display.
Overview
********
This sample demonstrates the use of the
:ref:`auxiliary display driver <auxdisplay_api>` for digit-based displays, such
as 7-segment displays.
Building and Running
********************
Note that this sample requires a board with a 7-segment display setup. You can
build your own setup by fly-wiring a 7-segment display to any board you have.
A sample overlay is provided for the ``native_sim`` target. See the overlay file
:zephyr_file:`samples/drivers/auxdisplay_digits/boards/native_sim.overlay` for a
demonstration.

If successful, the display first lights up all segments (e.g., 8.8.8. on a
3-digit display), blinks once, sequentially lights up each digit from left to
right, and then counts up from 0 to the maximum number that can be displayed.
