Added direct support for LIFX bulbs in HyperHDR

Hi @awawa-dev,
I am currently using HyperHDR with some LIFX bulbs, even though they are not technically supported. I do this by having HyperHDR write the RGB values to a named pipe, and use an external program to continuously read from it. This program converts the RGB values to HSBK, and then generates and sends UDP packets to the bulbs using the LAN protocol to update their colors: https://lan.developer.lifx.com/docs/packet-contents
My question is, will I need to modify this setup when I update to the next version that includes the new Infinite Color Engine? Would you have any clue as to whether these bulbs support an extended colorspace, similar to the Hue bulbs? There is some documentation on their color settings here: https://lan.developer.lifx.com/docs/representing-color-with-hsbk
Thank you for this excellent project
