Add MicroSD Support AND Falcon Pi Player Remote Support #1278

Description

@MrPaulAR

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Wifi is inherently noisy and congested which often results in choppy e131 & DDP playback. Since ethernet isn't an option for most esp8266/esp32 devices we must work with what's been given.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for a MicroSD card, reading FSEQ files (maybe compressed if the CPU can handle it), and FPP/xSchedule remote support.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
QuinLED doesn't support MicroSD today but other esp "Capes" do such as the ESPixelStick hardware. The ESPixelStick software also has the required remote support built in and sd card support which WLED can run on. Perhaps if this feature were to exist then Quindor may even be more receptive for adding a v2 of his boards with MicroSD support. Especially on the Quad boards.

I realize this is a major ask and I'm hopeful you can understand where this is coming from. With more and more data coming from xLights this will be a significant improvement.
