Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

I've seen other requests to add support for other missing Waveshare displays, but I didn't see nothing about the 2.66 inch. This display supports 3 colors (red / black / white). [Product page here](https://www.waveshare.com/2.66inch-e-paper-module-b.htm).

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

ESPHome doesn't seem to even have support to 3-color e-ink displays, so there was nothing close I could test with.

**Additional context**

Documentation can be found [here](https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.66inch_e-Paper_Module_(B)).

Research direction

Start with the Waveshare product page and the linked 2.66-inch e-Paper wiki documentation to understand the display and its three-color behavior. No repository files, tests, or entry points are named in the request. Done means ESPHome supports this display, including red, black, and white output.
