Move servo setup to a config file.

[robottwo]

This patch moves the controller addresses to a config file, along with the servo PWM range of motion.

This allows one to use any number of servo controllers on the i2c bus, and also makes it easier to customize the servo calibration.

This patch also includes a Servo Calibration GUI, which makes it much easier to calibrate both the controller and channel, as well as the min and max pwm for each servo.

Do you have a demo video showcasing sample usage of your changes (like the gui and maybe a sample case on using more than two servo controllers (assuming it's 16 servos per controller wow that's a lot of servos!) Just curious, did you run this on a raspberry pi zero as well? Thanks in advance.

Nope to all 3. But I did find it useful just when connecting to two controllers, since different people may put them on different addresses, and put the servos on different channels.

Thanks for your reply. I do understand how extremely useful this patch is, I'd merge this but I'd have to test it on my hardware setup first and maybe do a short readme. Thanks!

[robottwo]

I updated the readme to talk about the new functionality.

@robottwo Thanks! I'll test this on my hexapod this week and if I don't run into any issues, I'd merge this anytime this week! Thanks again for the readme!
