[FR] Support for Anycubic Vyper #281

Description

Support for Anycubic Vyper. It is a great machine in many ways, one of which is not the firmware, so supporting it in knutwurst marlin would be great. I would like to help as I have a non-modified machine at hand, let me know what you need.

The Vyper uses completely different hardware and an original DWIN DGUS II display. The firmware is based on plain Marlin with Vyper Touchscreen integration and can be built directly from the marlin sources.

I don't see any need to build firmware for this, since anyone can do it themselves and the original firmware isn't that bad either.

Yeah, understood, I just would like to compile everything from the same source for my zoo here :). But if you think it would not be worthwhile for the rest of the users, I will create my own version. Firmware as such (Marlin), is probably fine for Vyper and I'm by no means expert there yet. But print quality out of the box is poorer than that of a good mega s out of the box. That can be addressed with a few tweaks in slicer, but these should really be configuration.h and configuration_adv.h changes. Further improvements that a machine like this really deserves, like enabling linear advance, are just not available without compiling with updated config files.
