RFC: Add keyboard backlight brightness handling to power-manager

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro]

Hi,

Whilst to me the location of the backend matters little, shouldn't one
expect that users will look for keyboard brightness settings in the
keyboard settings? I had a quick glance at your code (can't build/test
stuff on the lappy right now) and it seems to me that you're using only the
xfpm settings UI. What about a patch against keyboard-settings with a
clickable link that'd open the xfpm settings (and appear only if xfpm is
running/runnable)?
