Minimum and maximum alerts on power supply properties will help or allow
the user space to "proactively" create policies like connect/disconnect
charger or stop/start the user apps based on capacity or temperature
parameters.
These parameters can be used to avoid unnecessary polling from user space
and even from kernel space if the underlying HW can support INT triggers
(ex: max17042/47).
This patch adds the following power supply alert type properties:
CAPACITY_ALERT_MIN
CAPACITY_ALERT_MAX
TEMP_ALERT_MIN
TEMP_ALERT_MAX
TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MIN
TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MAX

Constant Charge Current(CC) is charging parameter which limit the
maximum current which can be pumped into the battery during charge cycle.
Constant Charge Voltage(CV) is also charging parameter which limit the
maximum voltage that battery can reach during charge cycle.
It is very common practice that at low or high temperatures we
do not charge the batteries upto it's fullest charge voltage
to avoid battery and user safety issues.
These sysfs properties will be useful for debug and to implement
certain user space policies like "Charging limited due to OverTemp".

This adds a new sysfs file called 'voltage_ocv' which gives the
Open Circuit Voltage of the battery.
This property can be used for platform shutdown policies and
can be useful for initial capacity estimations.

This adds a new sysfs file called 'charge_type' which displays the
type of charging (unknown, n/a, trickle charge, or fast charging).
This allows things like battery diagnostics to determine what the
battery/EC is doing without resorting to changing the 'status' sysfs
output.

This reverts commit 8efe444038 and
4cbc76eadf.
Richard@laptop.org was apparently using CAPACITY_LEVEL for debugging
battery/EC problems, and was upset that it was removed. This readds it.

This adds PROP_CHARGE_COUNTER to the power supply class (documenting it
as well). The OLPC battery driver uses this for spitting out its ACR
values (in uAh). We have some rounding errors (the data sheet claims
416.7, the math actually works out to 416.666667, so we're forced to
choose between overflows or precision loss. I chose precision loss,
and stuck w/ data sheet values), but I don't think anyone will care
that much.

Move 00-INDEX entries to power/00-INDEX (and add entry for
pm_qos_interface.txt).
Update references to moved filenames.
Fix some trailing whitespace.
