Support all the 0.2 Ferris variants (#12653)
* Support all the 0.2 Ferris variants

For the Compact, the High and the Mini, create a new directory so each
keyboard may have the correct USB descriptor and a readme with more
specific information about it.

For the Bling, also add support for the underglow functionality.

Change the "MANUFACTURER" string to "Cuddly Keyboards Ltd.", the
name of the company I incorporated to sell keyboards, and change the
default descriptor from "Ferris the keeb" to "Ferris 0.2" which is more
descriptive.
I didn't update the 0.1 variants as I don't intend to sell these kits
with "Cuddly Keyboards". The firmware is mostly there to support
existing users.

Update the "hardware availability" to point to my new website:
cuddlykeyboards.com.

* Add RGB mode toggle to my keymap and to the default keymap

* Improve wording in the readme

@pierrec83's personal keymap for the Ferris keyboard

This keymap shares many commonalities with the default keymap. See its readme for a write-up on many of the decisions, including how to generate the formatted json file with json2crab.py and the general philosophy for each layer.

Because this is my own keymap, I didn't refrain from using shortcuts that make sense for me and may not make sense for most.

Key differences from the default keymap include:

Alpha layers:

Because I only learned to touch type when I switched from qwerty to workman, my base layer is workman and my layout doesn't contain a qwerty layer.

My layer 1 hosts a variant of RSTHD that I am developing, inspired from workman's focus on reducing side-index-motion. It should become my end game keymap eventually, but I still haven't found the time to learn it to a working proficiency.

Secondary thumbs:

Instead of a placeholder 0 and 1, the secondary thumbs on my keymap perform the following actions:

  • Navigate to previous and next workspace the base layer
  • Navigate to previous and next tab on the mouse layer
  • Volume control on layer
  • Brightness control on layer

Mouse layer:

  • Copy/Paste shortcuts on the left hand, on the upper row.

Always available layer:

  • Esc and column are placed differently to allow easy vim navigation with the positions of w and q in the workman base layer
  • Enable permanent switch to the RSTHD layer in addition to the mouse layer
