ESP32-S3 moon phase clock test on 2.1" round TFT display 🌜🌚🖥️

Now that we have somewhat-kinda-sorta working support for RGB TFT displays on the ESP32-S3 - shout out to Jepler, who is doing the hard work over in this PR https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/pull/8351 - its time to test it with wifi too! That's right, the S3 can do wifi and these big displays at once, and CircuitPython is a beautiful framework for it since its so fast to iterate. This code snippet is based on PaintYourDragon's moon clock code here https://learn.adafruit.com/moon-phase-clock-for-adafruit-matrixportal but pared down for testing. We get the geolocation from IP, then look up the moon phase. Currently we just hardcoded it to display today's phase, but the next step is generating ~28 different phase images, and we'll display the one for the current evening as the API informs us.
