Implementing Color Extractor

Implementing Color Extractor in HA as (very) simple alternative to Ambilight or Hyperion.
Implementation is very simple and easy.
Only requires adding one line of code to activate internal integration:
color_extractor:
Next step is to create Automation, that would be triggered when state of the Chromecast media_player changes, and to select one color LED that will be changing color by this integration.
For this I'm using WLED LED strip running on DigUno board.
Last step, not documented, but you may see error in log if you don't do that is to add URL to configration.yaml file:
allowlist_external_urls:
- https://i.ytimg.com
This is URL I had to add, check your log for error and tweak URL.
Don't expect real-time live changes, but if you use Chromecast to stream YouTube videos, it will change color on every new video, depending on the color of the thumbnail.
