Keyboard backlight handling improvements (#404)

* gpm-kbd-backlight: Fix toggling backlight back on

The static value was reset on every call rather than only initially,
resulting in failure to restore the initial value when toggling it
back on.

* gpm-kbd-backlight: Persistently save user-set brightness

Try and save the user-set brightness to be able to restore it on next
restart.

This is not perfect because we have complex interaction between
settings which makes it not trivial, if at all possible, to save the
value yet respect the dim settings.

Here we try to save the value in a way that counteract battery dimming
so that restoring the value yields expected results (e.g. a value saved
on battery restores identical on battery again), but it cannot work
when the value to save is larger than the dimmed maximum as at the
moment the maximum value is 100%.

It is however the best I could come up with working with the settings
we currently have, and it's probably good enough at least as a starting
point.

It also switches from `master_percentage` to `brightness_percent` in
the toggle code because the former is only initialized to the actual
current brightness value once brightness changed at least once, while
the former is properly initialized. It is otherwise quivalent for this
feature, and less confusing as to when the value gets updated.

* refactor: gpm-kbd-backlight: Remove some unnecessary temp variables

* refactor: gpm-kbd-backlight: Move dimming logic to a helper function

* gpm-kbd-backlight: Get rid of `master_percentage`

Now the on-AC value changes following user input, the internal
`master_percentage` was just plain confusing and actually make things a
bit weird at times because it doesn't follow dynamic user choices.

So just get rid of it, replacing it with the on-AC value.

* gpm-kbd-backlight: Rationalize handling of battery-reduce setting

Handling of a disabled battery-reduce setting was too aggressive, which
could reduce in not setting backlight value in unrelated cases,
including initial startup and resume, as well as some cases of IDLE
handling.

Now the user choices are better followed, the whole special-casing
could probably be removed as the internal state should always reflect
the reality, but keep the specific check not to do anything on AC
plug/unplug when this is disabled just in case, although the historical
reasons why it was actually problematic should be gone now.
