Auto Save

v2 Usermod to automatically save settings to preset number AUTOSAVE_PRESET_NUM after a change to any of

• brightness
• effect speed
• effect intensity
• mode (effect)
• palette

but it will wait for AUTOSAVE_SETTLE_MS milliseconds, a "settle" period in case there are other changes (any change will extend the "settle" window).

It will additionally load preset AUTOSAVE_PRESET_NUM at startup. during the first loop(). Reasoning below.

AutoSaveUsermod is standalone, but if FourLineDisplayUsermod is installed, it will notify the user of the saved changes.

Note: I don't love that WLED doesn't respect the brightness of the preset being auto loaded, so the AutoSaveUsermod will set the AUTOSAVE_PRESET_NUM preset in the first loop, so brightness IS honored. This means WLED will effectively ignore Default brightness and Apply N preset at boot when the AutoSaveUsermod is installed.
