Make missing a vblank interrupt wait less painful (#374)

If you missed a vblank, then the next call to wait_for_vblank would
pointlessly wait rather than returning immediately. Meaning if you
missed a vblank by a few cycles, you'd be waiting for the entire next
one :(.

 ### Changed
 - Text renderer can now be re-used which is useful for rpg style character/word at a time text boxes.
+- If a vblank happens outside of `wait_for_vblank`, then next call will immediately return.
 
 ### Fixed
 - Zero volume now plays no sound.
