Feature: RGBLight layers (#7768)
* New feature: RGBLIGHT_LAYERS

This feature allows users to define multiple independent layers of lighting
that can be toggled on and off individually, making it easy to use your
RGB lighting to indicate things like active keyboard layer & modifier state.

* Demonstrate built in functions for layer state checking

Also link the video in the docs.

* Follow existing pattern for setting rgblight_status flags

* Eliminate rgblight_is_static_mode since it's not needed

Just check to see if the timer is enabled directly.

What is QMK Firmware?

QMK (Quantum Mechanical Keyboard) is an open source community centered around developing computer input devices. The community encompasses all sorts of input devices, such as keyboards, mice, and MIDI devices. A core group of collaborators maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Configurator, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and this documentation with the help of community members like you.

Get Started

Totally new to QMK? There are two ways to get started:

Make It Yours

QMK has lots of features to explore, and a good deal of reference documentation to dig through. Most features are taken advantage of by modifying your keymap, and changing the keycodes.

Need help?

Check out the support page to see how you can get help using QMK.

Give Back

There are a lot of ways you can contribute to the QMK Community. The easiest way to get started is to use it and spread the word to your friends.
