per effect smoothing (#456)

* add dynamic smoothing first step
* extend prio muxer to hold smoothing preset id
* add icons for systray
* fix missing changes in prio muxer
*  implement specific smoothing params for effects
* refactoring: std::min/max to qMin/Max
* some code optimization
* fix schema and translation
* revoke change of python include order
* fix eol in effect shemas
* optimize random,candle and fadecandy json schemas
