feat: Add displayGrayscaleBase method for differential refresh

(#2334)

Introduces a new display method that prepares the framebuffer as a base
frame for grayscale overlays. On X3 panels, this uses the OEM
differential base waveform (AA-pre-BW) without forcing a resync. Other
panels fall back to normal display with configurable refresh mode.
