auxdisplay: hd44780: move cursor home after clear display command

The DISPLAY_CLEAR command on the NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 display
does NOT change the DDRAM address to 00h (home position) like the
standard Hitachi HD44780 controller. As a consequence, the starting
position of the initial string LCD_INIT_TEXT is not guaranteed to be
at 0,0 depending on where the cursor was before the DISPLAY_CLEAR
command.

Extract of DISPLAY_CLEAR command from datasheets of:

    Hitachi HD44780:
        ... It then sets DDRAM address 0 into the address counter...

    NewHaven NHD-0220DZW-AG5 datasheet:
... This instruction does not change the DDRAM Address

Move the cursor home after sending DISPLAY_CLEAR command to support
non-standard LCDs.
