Certain drivers benefit from knowing whether the system is on ac or
battery, for instance when determining which backlight registers to
read. This adds a simple call to determine whether there's an online
power supply other than any batteries.

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.

The CAPACITY_LEVEL stuff defines various levels of charge; however, what
is the difference between them? What differentiates between HIGH and NORMAL,
LOW and CRITICAL, etc?
As it appears that these are fairly arbitrary, we end up making such policy
decisions in the kernel (or in hardware). This is the sort of decision that
should be made in userspace, not in the kernel.
If the hardware does not support _CAPACITY and it cannot be easily calculated,
then perhaps the driver should register a custom CAPACITY_LEVEL attribute;
however, userspace should not become accustomed to looking for such a thing,
and we should certainly not encourage drivers to provide CAPACITY_LEVEL
stubs.
The following removes support for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CAPACITY_LEVEL. The
OLPC battery driver is the only driver making use of this, so it's
removed from there as well.

This class is result of "external power" and "battery" classes merge,
as suggested by David Woodhouse. He also implemented uevent support.
