Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Allow setting a power limit when configuring a FastLED light

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

It would be nice to be able to always have the led's at max brightness without overloading the power supply.

**Additional context**

As far as I can tell, `color_correct` is not a sufficient solution (#82).
FastLED uses the current LED state to dynamically determine the max brightness bases on the value of each pixel. [FastLED Docs](http://fastled.io/docs/3.1/group___power.html#gafff15ebb8adee6a6c76fd46eb980397c)
I don't think this behavior is currently replicable in ESPHome.
