Add ‘--reset’ command-line option

Browse source 
Passing this option will cause a full update command to be sent to the Inkplate
instead of a partial update command.

A full update cleans up any residual display from previous partial updates, but
causes more wear on the eink display. It causes a big flash of all black to
happen before sending the updated display. I shouldn't be used all the time.
