Overhaul "Pixel FIFO" article into "Rendering Internals"

Also avoid describing SameBoy internals, instead relying on it when
otherwise corroborated, or on schematics and/or test ROMs when possible.

Restructure the article to describe behavior more than components, especially
in a way that is more friendly to someone not knowing what all the components
are about.

Add a diagram, too, and move the mode timing diagram to the STAT article, where
it belongs just as well, but where it will be more visible and thus more useful.

 write's effect to the left by that many dots.
