The option --led-brightness in the docs doesn't exist
Bug description
What happened
I installed rivalcfg 4.15.0, ran rivalcfg and I can configure everything properly on my Aerox 3 Wireless except for the led brightness, since that option exists in the docs, but not in the app.
What was expected
to be able to run rivalcfg --led-brightness 10 and set the brightness
Step to reproduce
Install the software, attempt to change brightness

I was able to work around this with different RGB values, someone should update the docs tho.
Hello o/
The --led-brightness option exists on the Aerox 3 device:
- https://flozz.github.io/rivalcfg/devices/aerox3.html
But not on the Aerox 3 Wireless device:
- https://flozz.github.io/rivalcfg/devices/aerox3_wireless.html
So the doc is right, the names of the devices are just confusing... :)
