#123 Allow borders width and height to be set at runtime

Currently the only way to resize the borders is at compile time by tweaking DISPLAY_BORDER_WIDTH_COLS and DISPLAY_BORDER_HEIGHT_COLS defines from display.h.
It will be nice if we can change them at runtime as well.

I think this is best handled in the UI code rather than changing the amount of screen that is emulated as it probably keeps the display emulation code simpler.

I can view that visible border (big, medium, small or none) could be handled in the UI.

OTOH the current border size is smaller than a TV set. I recall an issue with the Nyan Cat demo as the developer could not see the full picture.

I agree that it'd be nice to increase the amount of border we are generating to cover the full overscan of the original machines.
