Sends a shimmer across the strip at defined (or random) intervals
Optional brightness modulators: sine or perlin noise
Can be used as an overlay to other effects.
- speed optimization in color_add, PS fast_color_add and blur functions
- applying more bit and shift manipulation tricks to squeeze out just a bit more speed on color manipulation functions.
- Optimization on blur is based on work by @blazoncek
- Renamed PS fast_color_add() to fast_color_scaleAdd()
- allow more than 10 custom palettes
- move palettes into CPP file
- Fix for minimizing cpal.htm (saves 2k of flash)
- shortened names in cpal, saves about 400 bytes of Flash after packing
- removed async from common.js loading to prevent errors on page loads if the file is not cached
- restricted nubmer of user palettes on ESP8266 to 10
- unrestricted number of user palettes on all other platforms (total max palettes: 256)
- added a warning when adding more than 10 palettes to let the user decide to risk it
- Bugfixes in palette enumeration, fixed AR palette adding
- AR palettes are now also added if there are more than 10 custom palettes

* adding center bin selection to 2D GEQ: this makes it possible to use subsets of the GEQ on distributed strips
setting custom3 to 0 gives the "old" behaviour, this is the default. existing presets will have the custom3 slider at the center, changing presets that do not use the full width so this is a breaking change for those but I assume theser are rare.
* Attempt at better bus memory calculation and estimation
* Remov double buffer count for ESP8266 (thanks @dedehai)
* improve UI calculation
* adding mendatory LED buffers to UI memory calculation
* adding buffer for transitions to memory calculation, change "error" to "warning"
* bugfixes in settings_leds.htm
* fix getDataSize() forESP8266, ESP8266 does not use double buffering.
* update led settings: fix parsing by @blazoncek
* new warnings for LED buffer use, deny adding a bus if it exceeds limits
* adds recommendations for users (reboot, disable transitions)

* Improved heap and PSRAM handling
- Segment `allocateData()` uses more elaborate DRAM checking to reduce fragmentation and allow for larger setups to run on low heap
- Segment data allocation fails if minimum contiguous block size runs low to keep the UI working
- Increased `MAX_SEGMENT_DATA` to account for better segment data handling
- Memory allocation functions try to keep enough DRAM for segment data
- Added constant `PSRAM_THRESHOLD` to improve PSARM usage
- Increase MIN_HEAP_SIZE to reduce risk of breaking UI due to low memory for JSON response
- ESP32 makes use of IRAM (no 8bit access) for pixeluffers, freeing up to 50kB of RAM
- Fix to properly get available heap on all platforms: added function `getFreeHeapSize()`
- Bugfix for effects that divide by SEGLEN: don't run FX in service() if segment is not active
-Syntax fix in AR: calloc() uses (numelements, size) as arguments
* Added new functions for allocation and heap checking
- added `allocate_buffer()` function that can be used to allocate large buffers: takes parameters to set preferred ram location, including 32bit accessible RAM on ESP32. Returns null if heap runs low or switches to PSRAM
- getFreeHeapSize() and getContiguousFreeHeap() helper functions for all platforms to correctly report free useable heap
- updated some constants
- updated segment data allocation to free the data if it is large
- replaced "psramsafe" variable with it's #ifdef: BOARD_HAS_PSRAM and made accomodating changes
- added some compile-time checks to handle invalid env. definitions
- updated all allocation functions and some of the logic behind them
- added use of fast RTC-Memory where available
- increased MIN_HEAP_SIZE for all systems (improved stability in tests)
- updated memory calculation in web-UI to account for required segment buffer
- added UI alerts if buffer allocation fails
- made getUsedSegmentData() non-private (used in buffer alloc function)
- changed MAX_SEGMENT_DATA
- added more detailed memory log to DEBUG output
- added debug output to buffer alloc function
