Settings placeholder substitution (#164)

* Use text formatting for default factory values to produce dynamic names. Header files contains duplicates of factory values defined in factory_settings.ini Removed them to simplify the code. * Use text formatting for default factory values to produce dynamic names. Header files contains duplicates of factory values defined in factory_settings.ini Removed them to simplify the code. * Configured the WiFi host name to contain the device id by default * Removed possibility to use placeholders for FACTORY_WIFI_SSID factory setting. * Update README.md Updated documentation * Use text formatting for default factory values to produce dynamic names. Header files contains duplicates of factory values defined in factory_settings.ini Removed them to simplify the code. * Configured the WiFi host name to contain the device id by default * Removed possibility to use placeholders for FACTORY_WIFI_SSID factory setting. * Added a space to the end of the file to comply project code style * fix typos clang formatting use 2 spaces in ini files use ${platform}-${chip_id} for hostname put chip id in brackets in AP SSID * restore (and update) factory setting ifndefs - this is so src can be built without an exaustive set build-time defines - standardize ordering of defines: factory settings, paths, config * format and modify comment * escape spaces in pio defines experiment with removing $'s from our format strings (they are being substituted with empty values by pio) * fix formatting in readme rename FactoryValue to SettingValue, put in own header give example of direct usage of FactorySetting::format in README.md * auto format * use hash to delimit placeholders * fix factory_settings.ini * remove flash string helpers * format ini file * use MAC address instead of chip id for properly unique identifier * use lower case hex encoding for unique id use chip id and unique id for more secure secret * fix comment * Use random values for JWT secret Arduino uses the ESP random number generator for "true random" numbers on both esp32 and esp8266 This makes a better JWT secret and may be useful for other factory defaults too In addition a modification has been made to force the FSPersistance to save the file if applying defaults * Don't use spaces in default AP SSID * restore helpful comment in factory_settings.ini fix default defines Co-authored-by: kasedy <kasedy@gmail.com>

 Changing factory time zone setting is a common requirement. This requires a little effort because the time zone name and POSIX format are stored as separate values for the moment. The time zone names and POSIX formats are contained in the UI code in [TZ.tsx](interface/src/ntp/TZ.tsx). Take the appropriate pair of values from there, for example, for Los Angeles you would use:

 ```ini
-    -D FACTORY_NTP_TIME_ZONE_LABEL=\"America/Los_Angeles\"
-    -D FACTORY_NTP_TIME_ZONE_FORMAT=\"PST8PDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0\"

 ```

-### Device ID factory defaults
+### Placeholder substitution

-If not overridden with a build flag, the framework will use the device ID to generate factory defaults for settings such as the JWT secret and MQTT client ID. 
+Various settings support placeholder substitution, indicated by comments in [factory_settings.ini](factory_settings.ini). This can be particularly useful where settings need to be unique, such as the Access Point SSID or MQTT client id. The following placeholders are supported:

-> **Tip**: Random values are generally better defaults for these settings, so it is recommended you leave these flags undefined.
+Placeholder  | Substituted value 
+-----------  | -----------------
+#{platform}  | The microcontroller platform, e.g. "esp32" or "esp8266"
+#{unique_id} | A unique identifier derived from the MAC address, e.g. "0b0a859d6816"
+#{random}    | A random number encoded as a hex string, e.g. "55722f94"
+
+You may use SettingValue::format in your own code if you require the use of these placeholders. This is demonstrated in the demo project:
+
+```cpp
+  static StateUpdateResult update(JsonObject& root, LightMqttSettings& settings) {
+    settings.mqttPath = root["mqtt_path"] | SettingValue::format("homeassistant/light/#{unique_id}");
+    settings.name = root["name"] | SettingValue::format("light-#{unique_id}");
+    settings.uniqueId = root["unique_id"] | SettingValue::format("light-#{unique_id}");
+    return StateUpdateResult::CHANGED;
+  }
+};
+```
