Summary

Motivation

As described in #627, I broke my display for Badger 2040 and bought a new one just to find out that they use different drivers.

Test

I have tested it with Badger 2040. Example code added. Will add video evidence soon.

- Waveshare 2.9in v2 epaper uses a different IC (SSD1680) than the v1. This commit
takes the code from v1 and modifies them for v2.

- Fixes tinygo-org#627
