When staring directly at the LEDs, the dithering flicker is visible- but in an enclosure, the flicker is totally nonexistent and the linear section causes a noticeable discontinuity.

A pure nonlinear-only approach seems like the best default. I'll document cases when this linear section might help, and it will be up to individual clients (or fcserver config files) to enable it.

This lets us disable the Nagle algorithm, and have finer control over error handling

I originally had this in here as a workaround because sometimes fcserver would fill up its USB queue, but this increases lag a lot. Much better without, and if fcserver acts up again I should just fix it :P
