Draft: SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wired Support resolves #4134

Initial commit for SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wired

  • Added new SteelSeriesAerox5Controller based on SteelSeriesAerox9Controller.
  • Updated SteelSeriesControllerDetect to include Aerox 5 PID.
  • Updated @detectors in RGBController_SteelSeriesRival3

Originally based this off the Aerox 9 controller, however during testing I noticed that adjustments through the OpenRGB UI were unreliable and often ignored. Introducing a 2ms delay after packet send fixed the issue.

A save packet was being sent with every request in the original controller, this wasn't necessary for the color/brightness changes to function so I removed it.

Save also does not appear to prevent the device defaulting to an unknown removed and re-inserted, so this might need further investigation. I observed similar behaviour when updating and saving through rivalcfg.
