Add animations examples

[HundredVisionsGuy]

NOTE: this pull request is in draft state, so you can provide any feedback before I add any more documentation.

So far, I've added two additional sections to examples.rst:

• Animations: the examples/neopxl8_simpletest.py file code and
• Adafruit LED Animation Functions: a list of Adafruit LED Animation Functions

For the LED Animations Functions section, I've included the first two of twelve so you can see what I'm thinking of doing for each function. My thought is to include the following for each animation function:

• name of the function,
• include a brief description,
• provide a code snippet showing how to import and call the function
• list the parameters (both required and default parameters).

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the path I'm taking.

Sorry, I forgot to initialize pre-commit. I will do that and fix the trailing whitespace error.

Hi! Thanks for the submission. Is this ready for review?

[HundredVisionsGuy]

If you like what I've done so far, my plan was to include similar code samples and explanations for the remaining LED animation functions.

Would you like me to add the other LED animation functions to the documentation?

[tekktrik]

Sure! Just say whenever its ready - I just wanted to make sure it wasn't accidentally marked as draft and therefore accidentally ignored.

My recommendation would be to add your code, comments, and documentation as working Python files in the examples/ folder so that people can readily add them to their device. Having working examples files they can immediately use and begin tweaking will help them better understand the functionalities.

Sounds good. I can do that. Also, I'll be testing it on a Feather Scorpio and that way, I can attest to the code. If I have the time, I might also record short videos/gifs of the code in action on my neopixel strands and include them in the rst files.
