Add advanced/efficient RGB Matrix Indicators (#8564)

* Add Advanced RGB Matrix effects

Add a new option, so that we can better handle custom indicators

* Switch to led min/max instead of params

Because params has already been incremented and is wrong now

* Add indicator color function for use with advanced indicator functions

* Add docs and helper macros

* Add comment for explanations

* Fix macro variables

* Fix typo

* Run clang-format on rgb_matrix.h

+In addition, there are the advanced indicator functions.  These are aimed at those with heavily customized displays, where rendering every LED per cycle is expensive.  Such as some of the "drashna" layouts.  This includes a special macro to help make this easier to use: `RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(i, r, g, b)`.

+```c
+void rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
+    RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(index, red, green, blue);
+}

 ### Suspended state :id=suspended-state
 To use the suspend feature, make sure that `#define RGB_DISABLE_WHEN_USB_SUSPENDED true` is added to the `config.h` file.
