Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I would like to limit minimum brightness for neopixel (like WS2812 and etc), especially if the gamma correction is higher than 3 to avoid led strip off if I set the low brightness. I need higher gamma correction for better colors of my WS2812 LED strip (like 4.2) but then I can't set brightness under 30% because the leds are going off even the light is on.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Add the `min_power` or `min_brightness` for neopixel light which will set the minimum brightness of light like the `min_power` for PWM output for lights using pwms (like RGB, RGBW, CWWW and etc). Also add max bvrightness will be good too,.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing neopixel light integration and the PWM light handling for min_power. Compare how minimum and maximum brightness are defined, then verify that the requested minimum-brightness behavior works with high gamma correction and does not turn the WS2812 strip off at low settings.
