Allow expanding from 8 to 32 RGB Lighting Layers (#8941)

* Allow 16 lighting layers

* Require #define RGBLIGHT_LAYERS_16 to enable 16 layers

* Override RGBLIGHT_MAX_LAYERS to set maximum number of lighting layers

* Enforce lower bound on RGBLIGHT_MAX_LAYERS

* Fix an error in the check for valid RGBLIGHT_MAX_LAYERS

* Don't use bitfield / PACKED, as it causes bloat

* Update documentation re: up to 32 lighting layers

* Run cformat

* Add note about increasing FW size in docs/config_options.md

* run RGB animations
* `#define RGBLIGHT_LAYERS`
* Lets you define [lighting layers](feature_rgblight.md?id=lighting-layers) that can be toggled on or off. Great for showing the current keyboard layer or caps lock state.
* `#define RGBLIGHT_MAX_LAYERS`
* Defaults to 8. Can be expanded up to 32 if more [lighting layers](feature_rgblight.md?id=lighting-layers) are needed.
* Note: Increasing the maximum will increase the firmware size and slow sync on split keyboards.
* `#define RGBLIGHT_LAYER_BLINK`
* Adds ability to [blink](feature_rgblight.md?id=lighting-layer-blink) a lighting layer for a specified number of milliseconds (e.g. to acknowledge an action).
* `#define RGBLED_NUM 12`
