rename CW LED descriptions to more commonly used CCT

[DedeHai]

this is a suggestion to rename "CW" into "CCT"

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated LED type display names returned by the LED types JSON API to more accurately reflect supported color-channel layouts, with clearer RGBCCT/RGBW wording for relevant bus types.
  • Revised inline channel labels and descriptive text for several supported LED bus formats so the displayed names align consistently with actual capabilities.

Walkthrough

LED type display names and inline bus-method comments were updated to use CCT-style channel naming (e.g., "RGBCCT", "GRBCCT") and several RGB/RGBW descriptor texts were reformatted across two files.

Changes

LED Type Naming Standardization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
LED Type Name API Update wled00/bus_manager.cpp	BusDigital::getLEDTypes() and BusPwm::getLEDTypes() updated human-readable name strings for multiple LED types, reformatting RGB/RGBW descriptors and renaming CCT-capable variants to use "RGBCCT …"; TYPE_ANALOG_5CH renamed to "PWM RGBCCT".
Documentation and Comment Labels wled00/bus_wrapper.h	Inline comments and section labels for ESP32/ESP8266 bus methods updated to reflect CCT channel naming for FW1906, WS2805, SM16825; file now includes a UTF-8 BOM on #pragma once.

Oh, I am 100% for that!

Any term other than RGBCCT or RGB+CCT is confusing in my opinion. WW is generally used for "Warm White" and CW is often used for "Cold White", that's fine. Things we're okay up until RGBW but then people starting calling it RGBWW or RGBCW sometimes, denoting the particular color temperature of that strip but there things went wrong, sometimes using RGBCW as referring to dual white also since the C and W is in there, very confusing. I've also seen it written as RGBWWCW, less confusing but still a bit meh in my opinion.

CCT is clear what it means, dual white color temperature
RGBCCT is also clear what it means, R+G+B with dual white

RGBW stays as is, R+G+B with a single white (whatever temperature)

I sometimes use the distinction of RGBCCT and RGB+CCT if the white is integrated into the same package, or external, but for the software side, that really doesn't matter, CCT and RGBCCT is the correct way to do it in my opinion.

Makes sense for me 👍
Same as @intermittech says, I remember there were different namings around when RGB strips got white as an extra LED. CCT seems to be the term that "survived".

To be discussed: maybe we could always use the RGB+" naming?

• RGB (no white)
• RGB+W (single white - either cold or warm white)
• RGB+CCT (both warm and cold white)
• White (single white)
• CCT (cold+warm)

Not sure what to do with "CCT + Amber" strips that have three white channels?

[intermittech]

Oh that is a good one @softhack007, there is a SK6812 WWA which has Warm, Cold and Amber White, I'd say it's so much of an exception (and the only one of that sort as far as I am aware) that it shouldn't define the naming for the rest. So maybe we just keep it as an exception to the rule, I think that's fine.

It seems the PWM naming was done by another developer and that it's 5 channel mode is called RGB+CCT, maybe just clean it all up and make it the same and I'd personally choose for RGBCCT then.

@DedeHai while we are at this, should we also change the "analogue" naming scheme?
