Two libraries - same function

Why is it necessary to use both libraries: “Neopixelbus” and “FastLed”?

They are not used for the “same function”.

Completely removed dependency on fastled library for better color control and co…nversions. This also prevents accidentally pulling in fastled functions that were previously replaced (random() for example). - Copied all required functions and structs from fastled - Optimized most of them for WLED use, many color manipulations in FX can now be replaced with native 32bit colors, potentially speeding things up with less color conversions - Increased accuracy for some functions by scaling the fixedpoint math making use of native 32bit variables. - Added a PRNG class for FX that rely on repatable random numbers - Updated FX to use the replacement functions where required @netmindz Animartrix does not compile anymore since fastled.h is not available now. Can you please remove `#include <FastLED.h>` from ANIMartRIX.h? 0.16 compiles just fine without that include as well. I did not check older versions though, maybe some other measures are appropriate, I let you be the judge of that :) ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Added new color palettes including Cloud, Lava, Ocean, Forest, Rainbow, Rainbow Stripe, and Party. - Introduced a custom pseudo-random number generator class for consistent and encapsulated random effects. - Added new waveform and easing functions for smoother LED animations. - Enhanced color manipulation with RGBW support, improved HSV conversions, and new palette blending utilities. - **Improvements** - Replaced FastLED library dependency with custom color management for better control and performance. - Refined audio-reactive and rotary encoder color processing for improved accuracy and visuals. - Unified random number generation across multiple effects using the new PRNG class. - Enhanced particle system rendering by supporting white channel colors and optimized color blending. - Streamlined color effect handling with updated hue and saturation adjustments using RGBW and CHSV32 types. - Simplified and optimized color conversion and blending functions. - Updated waveform generation and beat timing functions for improved sound synthesis. - **Chores** - Removed FastLED library dependency and related macros from multiple components. - Updated project configuration to exclude FastLED 3.6.0 dependency. - Added MIT license file for FastLED dependency. - Cleaned up legacy includes, macros, and color handling code. - Consolidated color-related declarations and implementations into new dedicated headers and source files. - Removed seeding of FastLED random number generator in setup for consistency with new PRNG.
