There were a number of issues with the model we had before, namely that plugins
that changed LED colors outside of LED modes had no way to signal "go back to
whatever color this key was". To this end, the `LEDMode.refreshAt` method is
introduced, which these plugins can call to tell the mode to update a given key.
As part of this, the API was redesigned, with code that is common between all
LED modes moving to the base class, among other things, much better names, and a
flow of control that is easier to follow.
In the new setup, there are four methods a LED mode can implement:
- `setup()` to do boot-time initialization (registering hooks, etc).
- `onActivate()` called every time the mode is activated.
- `update()` called each cycle.
- `refreshAt()` may be called by other plugins to refresh a particular key.
All of these are protected methods, to be called via `LEDControl` only.
Much of the new API design was done by @cdisselkoen, huge thanks for his work!

The new `init_mode()` method simply (re-)inits the current mode. Useful when a
plugin that changes LEDs outside of LED modes wants to reset the active LED
mode. Doubly useful when the active LED mode does all the work in its `init()`
method.

A while ago, we added a bit of code to `bootAnimation()` that only did the
animation on first boot - this is not a desirable thing anymore, not in
`bootAnimation()` itself.
These days, one would use `Kaleidoscope-EEPROM-Settings`, and decide whether to
do the boot animation there. Since `bootAnimation()` is an optional thing, just
do the animation whenever the function is called, and remove the obsolete EEPROM
bits.

Allows setting all of the LEDs to custom, distinct colors (as opposed to
`led.setAll`, which sets them all to the same color). This allows one to
upload a theme in one go, without having to set each LED one by one.

While it was a neat optimization to only turn LEDs off at init time, that is not
enough if there are other plugins in play, that work with the LEDs independently
of the active LED mode. Such a plugin is LED-ActiveModColor, which never turns
LEDs off, and relies on the LED mode to do that.
Since LEDOff did not turn things off on update(), when used together with
LED-ActiveModColor, the LEDs under the modifiers stayed active, even after the
modifiers went inactive.
With this simple change, LEDOff will now update, and the problem's gone.

Instead of doing a substraction and a compare in the if check, whenever we reset
the timer, add `syncDelay`, and compare against the timer only. Should result in
marginally better performing code.
Thanks @obra for the suggestion!

Because `led_sync` is a major cause of slowness, do not sync every cycle. In
most cases, it is pointless to sync 100 times a second, about 60 - or even 30 -
may be more than enough.
For this reason, introduce a timer, and a settable delay: we'll only call
`led_sync` once the delay's up. It can be set to 0 to call it every time, but
defaults to 16 (for about 62 syncs/sec), as a safe bet.
This speeds the loop up dramatically, except for the few exceptions where sync
is called.
Fixes#1.

Not all keyboard hardware has per-key LEDs, and not all of them define the LED_*
helpers. To make the LEDControl at least compile for these, guard the
BootAnimation with a Model01-specific ifdef.

This works both when the hardware bits are still in KeyboardioFirmware, and when
lifted out, too.

This way the end-user does not have to explicitly call
`Keyboardio.use(&LEDControl)`, it is enough to use a LED effect.

This is a slightly tweaked version of LEDControl from core
KeyboardioFirmware, along with the built-in LED effects.
The one major change is that LED sync is now called just before the update,
instead of at the end of the main loop. This, however, should not be a
noticeable change.
