RGB Matrix Overhaul (#5372)
* RGB Matrix overhaul Breakout of animations to separate files Integration of optimized int based math lib Overhaul of rgb_matrix.c and animations for performance * Updating effect function api for future extensions * Combined the keypresses || keyreleases define checks into a single define so I stop forgetting it where necessary * Moving define RGB_MATRIX_KEYREACTIVE_ENABLED earlier in the include chain

The format for the matrix position used in this array is `{row | (col << 4)}`. The `x` is between (inclusive) 0-224, and `y` is between (inclusive) 0-64. The easiest way to calculate these positions is:
- x = 224 / ( NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1 ) * ROW_POSITION
