feat(lcd): Add support for Solarmax / HL-VMAX (Artinchip VID 0x33C3 PID 0xF101) displays

- Added LcdCommVmax driver supporting USB CDC serial protocol
- Added automatic geometry descriptor parsing (462x1920, 320x1480, 480x1920)
- Implemented thread-safe in-memory canvas buffering and frame queue rate-limiting
- Configured CDC serial parameters (rtscts=False, dtr=True, rts=True) for reliable handshake
- Patched GPUtil and Windows process execution with CREATE_NO_WINDOW
- Added unit tests, test script, configure.py model support, and documentation
