[slstatus] Add backlight patch from mailing list
This patch adds a backlight component to slstatus.
It was previously denied, because the backlight percentage can be
literally "seen" when looking at a screen, and porting it is not
possible without dirty hacks.

+=========

+Description
+-----------
+This diff adds a backlight component to slstatus. It displays
+backlight percentages. On OpenBSD device permissions have to be
+adapted or slstatus has to be run as root (strongly discouraged!).
+FreeBSD is currently not supported, anyone may add it here.
+
+It was previously denied, because the backlight percentage can be
+literally "seen" when looking at a screen, and porting it is not
+possible without dirty hacks.
