Use Native type for loops that have large interations to save code size

[Makuna]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
WLED developers have found that using a native size type to the uC (ESP32 would be 32 bit) on loops can reduce code size.

Describe the solution you'd like
Define a NeoPixelBus wide type like uintLoop_t and intLoop_t (alternate of uintNative_t or others?) that then get used throughout NeoPixelBus. They get defined based on the microcontrollers platforms size. (using int and unsigned int?)

Additional context
This seems to be a bigger issue (using smaller size than the native uC size) for larger chips as they then need to inject code on every increment or test to convert a native register to the size the code defined.

Perhaps just size_t would do when you only need positive numbers.

EDIT: the issue (but that is generic) is that it is only guaranteed to have 16 bits at least. IMO if you do not need maximum range (i.e. INTxx_MAX) in your loops then it may be best to use native size which is (more often than not) int or unsigned.

You could use the "fast" types like uint_fast16_t or int_fast32_t (see list in the link posted by @blazoncek).

Some people consider these make code look "nerdy" however it's the most portable solution. Like uint_fast8_t is "the fastest (native) unsigned that can hold at least 8 bits".
