Add support for RGB LEDs wired directly to each half's controller (#5392)
* Add support for wiring RGB LEDs for both halves directly to their respective controllers RGB LEDs for each half don't need to be chained together across the TRRS cable with this * Add split RGB LED support for serial * Update config/rules for bakingpy layout * Un-nest ifdefs for hand detection * Read RGB config state from memory instead of EEPROM for serial updates * Reuse existing LED pointer instead of creating new one

At minimum you must define the data pin your LED strip is connected to, and the number of LEDs in the strip, in your `config.h`. If your keyboard has onboard RGB LEDs, and you are simply creating a keymap, you usually won't need to modify these.
-|Define |Description |
-|------------|---------------------------------------------|
-|`RGB_DI_PIN`|The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs|

Then you should be able to use the keycodes below to change the RGB lighting to your liking.
