This adds ddc monitor control and glues it into the backlight system.
A result of this is now backlgiht control gadgets work screen by
screen and even on desktop monitors as well as on a laptop panel. If
you now put a backlight gadget on a shelf on each screen... it will
control THAT screen's backlight.
This requires libddcutil to be installed. That will require i2c
modules (i2c-dev specifically). This means that this is likely not
going to do anything useful on bsd's... unless libddcutil happens to
work there by chance.
so install ddcutil/libddcutil. ensure it's in ld.so.conf so setuid
root processes find it (as LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't help) and enjoy your
new funcky per-screen backlight controls... :)

Summary:
What i have done:
- Open slider will update using mouse wheel over light bulb
- Open slider will update using keybindings
- Slider shows now a value between 1 and 100 (no double value is displayed anymore)
- Removed unnecessary code for shelf module
- removed code for buggy popup using keybindings (may add later an option for showing popup on backlight change)
I am still learning. please consider :)

now it really does look for the right way to control per screen and
only use the new e_system back-end to query/list devices etc. ...
this now opens the door to adding ddc support to e_system then using
it from e_backlight.
i can't test this... yet - but this means in theory the backlight
gadget will control the backlight of the screen it is on...
pre-scale a bunch of resolutions for generated wallpaper files that
intersect with common resolution sizes so e will automatically load
the nearest resolution to be more efficient on load to only decode
what is needed. a bi-product is that e now has a wallapper gen
tool that is simpler than writing your own edc files... :)

gtk and efl can use csd. we kind of were copying gtk's but we got it
wrong... in efl. and in etoo as a result. this fixes it to use
min/bas/max size as covering the whole window including the insets.
@fix
amazing this didn't blow up before. missing e_ in front ad the macro
should have transformed this to wrap the e version of this func...
clang warning pointed this out. a real bug waiting to happen.
