Add power settings for the lighting, bump to 1.4.0

Browse Source 
New Power page:
- toggle for the firmware's 30 s keyboard backlight timeout
- idle timeout for keyboard and lightbar, separately for AC and battery;
  predatord watches all input devices and restores the lighting on the
  next input
- battery rules: dimmed keyboard brightness, keyboard off, lightbar off

The rules only change what is sent to the hardware; the saved lighting
settings stay untouched.
