Add two Python examples for controlling the HP RGBW deck: - hprgbw_set.py: Set a static color with configurable RGBW values - Supports both rgbw() and rgb() classes (with auto white extraction) - Easy-to-edit color examples for users - Configurable brightness correction parameter - hprgbw_cycle.py: Cycle through HSV color space - HSV to RGBW conversion for smooth color transitions - Continuous 360° hue cycling Both examples include: - Thermal status monitoring via log subscription (100ms polling) - Warning messages when thermal throttling is active - Proper LED shutdown on Ctrl-C - pack_rgbw() helper to format 0xWWRRGGBB uint32 values

Pull Request Overview
This PR adds example scripts demonstrating LED control for Crazyflie drones with two different LED deck types: a generic RGB LED deck and a color RGBW LED deck with thermal monitoring capabilities.
Key Changes:
- Added HSV-to-RGB/RGBW color conversion utilities for smooth color transitions
- Implemented thermal monitoring with throttling warnings for color LED deck examples
- Added configurable brightness correction support for RGBW LEDs

…mples Interestingly this was not caught by pre-commit on Python 3.13
Use correct updated parameter name Correctly pack color
