Also replace spaces with tabs in Makefiles.

The callback for the keyboard brightness keys has its functionality restored,
with clarifying comments added to avoid similar mistakes being made by future
refactoring efforts.

The functions which return the next brightness level to be used are refactored

This commit introduces two new options:
1) Configuring the amount of brightness steps
2) Whether to distribute the steps in a linear or exponential way

Both options are presented in the settings dialog and affect the
brightness keys and the panel plugin.

This hopefully makes the icon stand out a little more.

This means we're now consistent with other panel plugins like pulseaudio or
notifyd.
