Feature Request: Additional (smaller) DMX profile (or profiles)

[rsmck]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes when using wLED in an environment with limited DMX channels available (due to manufacturer licensing largely!) it would be nice to have a smaller footprint whilst still being able to achieve most of the flexibility of wLED.

For example, with 100 segments (across 4 ESPs) the segment effect mode uses 1500 channels (15x100), but in my usual applications they are all running the same effect (but may have varying colours or intensities)

Describe the solution you'd like
A new DMX mode based on effect segment but where the first 6 channels are global and only the primary/secondary/tertiary RGB values repeat. In the above example, this would use only 924 (46)+(9100) channels as opposed to 1500

Other options may suit other purposes too, for example having a global effect control and only a single RGB channel (primary) for each segment would be adequate for most of my uses as I would use global Effect Palette ID when using effects, but this would still allow individual RGB control of each segment when in static mode, this would allow the 100 segments to fit in just 324 (46)+(3100) channels in the above example

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatives to work around the large channel use (which I've used many times) is to pair up segments across multiple wLEDs using the same addressing but it reduces flexibility.

Additional context
I use wLED in small-scale and amateur theatre. It allows us to achieve effects that would previously have required very expensive control equipment.

Most such venues have lighting consoles that have a small channel limit, for example the popular ETC Element console and ETCnomad have a limit of 1,024 DMX channels (and we have to fit the rest of our show rig in that too)

In my own application, and I know others' too, we use the wLED effectively in two modes;

Effects (across all segments)
Static (with individual control of segments but usually as single colour)

Therefore the duplication of Dimmer, Effect Mode ID, Effect Speed, Effect Intensity, Effect Palette ID, and Effect Option is just 'wasted channels' in many cases.
