SKR E3 Turbo incompatible w/ BTT mini-12864 screen

[Deebatts]

When attempting to compile current Marlin 2.0.9 for my Ender 3 Pro w/ SKR E3 Turbo mainboard to account for adding BTT 12864 screen, autobuild marlin in VSCode displays an error: In file included from g:\marlin-2.0.x\marlin\src\pins\pins.h:409, from g:\marlin-2.0.x\marlin\src\inc\marlinconfig.h:34, from buildroot/share/PlatformIO/scripts/common-dependencies.h:29: g:\marlin-2.0.x\marlin\src\pins\lpc1769/pins_BTT_SKR_E3_TURBO.h:264:6: error: #error "Only ZONESTAR_LCD, MKS_MINI_12864, ENDER2_STOCKDISPLAY, and CR10_STOCKDISPLAY are currently supported on the BTT_SKR_E3_TURBO."

It seems pretty ass-backwards that your BTT SKR E3 Turbo would not support your own BTT branded 12864 screen; please resolve this conflict. Directions in the user manual lead to a failure to compile firmware, and I now have a screen that's useless with my printer.

The E3 Turbo board has no connector for EXP2 and the useable pins on EXP1 don't match. But if you can create a custom cable and recycle maybe the Z-Probe connector you could extend Marlin to support this display as well.

Try to extend pins/lpc1769/pins_BTT_SKR_E3_TURBO.h starting at line 261 with your own custom definition like this

#if ENABLED(FYSTEC_MINI_12864_2_1)
  #error "BTT mini 12864 display requires a custom cable to connect required pins from EXP1 and EXP2 cable to EXP1 on the E3 Turbo board. It is also necessary to reuse some pins from other connectors. Comment out this line to continue."

This is just an example copy&pasted from other board definitions like pins/lpc1768/pins_BTT_SKR_V1_4.h. I'm not sure if this will work but I think this could be a way to get at least the display working. I skipped the sd card pins because this would require even more pins.

Or you try to use the pinout for an MKS_MINI_12864, ENDER2_STOCKDISPLAY which seems to be quite similar and is already supported for this board.
