Subject: [PATCH] Simplify SoftwareSerial::write

Before, there was nearly identical code for the inverted and regular
cases. However, simply inverting the byte in the inverted case allows
using the regular code twice, reducing the generated code size by 100
bytes (on an Arduino Uno and gcc 4.3, on gcc 4.8 the reduction is 50
bytes).
