The DAC object allows passing to write a value that's greater than the DAC supports, like 1024, 9999, etc. We should catch this and fail with an out of bounds error. Example:

import machine
dac = machine.DAC()
dac.write(9999)

Interestingly a write of 9999 outputs a voltage around 2.5v when the reference is 3.3v. Values within the 10-bit range (0-1023) have the expected out and are all good, so this is a minor issue.

It was incorrect to NULL out the pointer to our heap allocated buffer in
`reset`, because subsequent to framebuffer_reset, but while
the heap was still active, we could call `get_bufinfo` again,
leading to a fresh allocation on the heap that is about to be destroyed.

Typical stack trace:

```
When this happened -- which was inconsistent -- the display would keep
some heap allocation across reset which is exactly what we need to avoid.

NULLing the pointer in reconstruct follows what RGBMatrix does, and that
code is a bit more battle-tested anyway.

If I had a motivation for structuring the SharpMemory code differently,
I can no longer recall it.

Testing performed: Ran my complicated calculator program over multiple
iterations without observing signs of heap corruption.

This brings in the following, and updates us to the 1.0.4 release tag:

Submodule lib/protomatter 2a1ba8fa4..5f07ec618:
  > Bumping version for release
  > Merge pull request adafruit#21 from makermelissa/master
  > Merge pull request adafruit#20 from makermelissa/master
  > Merge pull request adafruit#18 from jepler/fix-cpy-3184
  > Merge pull request adafruit#14 from hierophect/cpy-timer-allocator

We previously had the _changes_ of jepler/fix-cpy-3184 and
hierophect/cpy-timer-allocator but not their merge commits.

The only other changes in protomatter were one formatting change in the
core, plus several Arduino sketches.  So this should make no practical
difference for CPy.
