Support for UC8253 e-paper display driver (Crowpanel)

[petakii]

Component name

epaper_spi

Link to component documentation on our website

https://esphome.io/components/display/epaper_spi/

Describe the enhancement

Currently the component does not support UC8253 e-paper display drivers.
Crowpanel 3.7-inch and a few other displays use this driver chip.

Tried configuring it as a Waveshare display, but no luck.

Use cases

Allow using displays with the UC8253 chip for e-paper display natively from ESPHome without needing additional external components.

Anything else?

Interested in this as well. Just came into possession of these displays and trying to get this working with ESPHome would be great

This display (without the Crowpanel ESP32 integration) is also known as "GDEY037T03 3.7" b/w 240x416, UC8253" and has been included in the Arduino GxEPD2 library

I got a WeAct 3.7in display and just realized that it isn't supported in Esphome (yet)
