* removed unneeded initializations in blur() and blur2D()
* remove check for _t in progress()
* code readability: if (_t) --> if(isInTransition())
* add `isInTransition()` checks to currentBri() and currentMode()
* added missing `_transitionprogress = 0xFFFFU` in stopTransition()
* changed some parameters to "pointer to const", so compiler can better optimize code size and performance - because data behind a const pointer will never be modified by the called function.
* made setPixelColor `const`
* fixed a few potentially uninitialized local vars (the may have random values if not initialized)
* avoid shadowing "state" in handleSerial()
* plus a few very minor improvements
* make XY() and _setPixelColorXY_raw() const (minor speedup)
* segment is a struct not a class: friend class Segment --> friend struct Segment
* fix missing braces around two macros
* use non-throwing "new" where possible
* improve robustness of transition code

- Added smearing option to:
- DNA
- DNA Spiral
- Drift
- Drift Rose
- Crazy Bees
- Ripple
- Colored Bursts
- Frizzles
- Lissajous
- Sindots
- Spaceships
- Added palette support to:
- Crazy Bees
- Polar Lights
- Drift Rose
- Changed default palette handling (no more special treatment for some FX)
- Merged puddles and puddlepeak
- Merged Gravcenter, Gravcentric, Gravfreq and Gravimeter (saves 1.2k of flash)
- Merged meteor and meteor smooth
- Renamed police_base into mode_two_dots as that was just an alias
- Added 'Traffic Light' palette (originally defined in Polar Lights FX)
- Firenoise: removed local palette, use fire palette -> slight change in looks (+bugfix)
- Some code cleanup (removed unused / commented stuff)
- Moved dev info for AR to the top so ist easier to find as a reference, also added link to KB there
Removing the bool saves on code size and makes the function a tiny bit faster. Also this is a cleaner solution IMHO.
-updated blend function to optimized 8bit calculation
- efficient color blend calculation in fews operations possible
- omitting min / max checks makes it faster on average
- using 8bit for "blend" variable does not significantly influence the resulting color, just transition points are slightly shifted but yield very good results (and better than the original 16bit version using the old fastled math with improper rounding)
- updated drawCircle and drawLine to use 8bit directly instead of 16bit with a shift
- code is a bit cleaner and faster as well
- chaning array access to pointer access in bus_manager makes it a few instructions faster
- changed getNumberOfPins and getNumberOfChannels to return 32bit values, saving the unnecessary 8bit conversion
- increase WLED_MAX_BUSSES for C3 (fixes#4215)
- fix for #4228
- fix for very long running effect (strip.now, strip.timebase)
- C++ API change to allow `seg.setColor().setOpacity()`
- changes to `setPixelColorXY` give an extra FPS, some checks and the loops are only done when needed, additional function call is still faster (force inlining it gives negligible speed boost but eats more flash)
- commented out the unused `boxBlur` function
- code size improvemnts (also faster) in `moveX()` and `moveY()` by only copying whats required and avoiding code duplications
- consolidated the `blur()` functions by enabling asymmetrical blur2D() to replace `blurRow` and `blurCol`
- compiler warning fixes (explicit unsigned casts)
- removing WS2812FX::setMode()
- removing WS2812FX::setColor()
- removing floating point in transition
- color handling modification in set.cpp
- replaced uint8_t with unsigned in function parameters
- inlined WS2812FX::isUpdating()
- (MAY BE BREAKING) alexa & smartnest update
- Added pre-calculation for segment brightness: stored in _segBri. The impact on FPS is not huge but measurable (~1-2FPS in my test conditions)
- Removed `bool unScaled` from `setPixelColor()` function again (it has no/minimal impact on speed but huge impact on flash usage: +850 bytes)
- Removed negative checking in `setPixelColorXY()` and replaced it with a local typecast to unsigned, saves a few instructions (tested and working)
- Changed int8_t to int in `moveX()` and `moveY()`
- Removed a few functions from IRAM as they are now not called for every pixel but only once per segment update
- Removed a `virtualWidth()` call from `ripple_base()`
- Bugfix in `mode_colortwinkle()`
uint16_t to unsigned to make it consisten throughout the hand-down.
colorFromPaletteWLED now returns uint32_t which saves the conversion to CRGB and back to uint32_t (in most uses at least).
also added (preliminary) CRGBW struct. I tried to use it in place of uint32_t colors but it adds a lot of overhead when passing the struct so reverted to uint32_t in most places.
updated a few FX to use the CRGBW struct and also cleaned some code to improve flash useage.
- blurring now uses desaturated adding: it is faster most of the times and blurring adds scaled colors so should rarely (ever?) saturate, I saw no visual difference in tests.
- formatting
- optimized color_add() again: now it is as fast with preserved ratio scaling than the "fast" variant was before (if no scaling is needed, it is even faster). plus it saves 250 bytes of flash
- bugfix in `color_fade()`
- removed a lot of whitespaces
uses less flash so it should be faster (did not notice any FPS difference though)
also cleaned code in ColorFromPaletteWLED (it is not faster, same amount of code)
some users have reported that releases after 0.14.0 are not working reliably. So we add a few "compat" for 8266 that try to reproduce the buildenv of 0.14.0 as much as possible.
* platform and platform_packages from 0.14.0
* not using PIO_FRAMEWORK_ARDUINO_MMU_CACHE16_IRAM48
* due to smaller IRAM, we had to move some functions back from IRAM to normal flash (may cause slowdown)
