feat(firmware): drive GDEY0579T93 EPD via dual-SSD1683 driver

Add a thin dual-SSD1683 driver (src/epd.rs, ported from GxEPD2's
GxEPD2_579_GDEY0579T93) for the 792x272 e-paper panel: reset/init,
RAM addressing, the split-and-mirror full-frame blit across the
master/slave seam at x=396, and full-refresh waveform. Frame
implements embedded-graphics' DrawTarget.

Replace the Spike 1 blink harness in main.rs with the Spike 2 test:
SPI at 4 MHz over SCK 12 / DIN 11 / CS 7 / DC 6 / RST 5 / BUSY 4,
alternating normal/inverted frames with a seam-straddling circle,
"Typoena", and the build tag. Verified on hardware 2026-07-04.

//! Thin SSD1683 driver for the GDEY0579T93 (792×272) e-paper panel.
//!
//! This panel is a *dual-controller* device: 792×272 exceeds one SSD1683's
//! 400×300 limit, so it is driven as a **master** (command offset `0x00`) +
//! **slave** (`0x80`) pair, with the framebuffer split between them. The
//! command sequences and RAM-window math are ported faithfully from GxEPD2's
//! `GxEPD2_579_GDEY0579T93` (Jean-Marc Zingg), itself based on the Good
//! Display factory demo. See `docs/v0.1-mvp-technical.md` (Spike 2) and
//! ADR-003.
//!
//! **Spike 2a scope:** hardware reset, init, uniform full-screen fill, full
//! refresh — enough to prove wiring + SPI + both controllers + refresh.
//! Text (an `embedded-graphics` `DrawTarget` + the per-quadrant blit from
//! GxEPD2's `_writeFromImage`) is Spike 2b.
