ACPI video: support _BCL packages that don't export brightness levels when machine...

Many buggy BIOSes don't export the brightness levels when machine
is on AC/Battery in the _BCL method.

Reformat the _BCL package for these laptops:
now the elements in device->brightness->levels[] are like:
levels[0]: brightness level when on AC power.
levels[1]: brightness level when on Battery power.
levels[2]: supported brightness level 1.
levels[3]: supported brightness level 2.
...
levels[n]: supported brightness level n-1.
levels[n + 1]: supported brightness level n.
So if there are n supported brightness levels on this laptop,
we will have n+2 entries in device->brightnes->levels[].

level[0] and level[1] are invalid on the laptops that don't
export the brightness levels on AC/Battery.
Fortunately, we never use these two values at all, even for the
valid ones.
