allow customizing decrease delay of rgb heatmap (#11322)0.11.46

* allow customizing decrease delay of rgb heatmap

* rename rgb typing heatmap decrease delay variable

* address review comments

* nix-shell: add clang-tools required for formatting the C code

* heatmap: use real timer to track decrement rate

* heatmap: fix ifndef var name typo

* heatmap: add docs

* Update docs/feature_rgb_matrix.md

+### RGB Matrix Effect Typing Heatmap :id=rgb-matrix-effect-typing-heatmap
+
+This effect will color the RGB matrix according to a heatmap of recently pressed
+keys. Whenever a key is pressed its "temperature" increases as well as that of
+its neighboring keys. The temperature of each key is then decreased
+automatically every 25 milliseconds by default.
+
+In order to change the delay of temperature decrease define
+`RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS`:
+
+```c
+#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS 50
+```
