Add brightness control using ddcutil to hyprland

The ddcutil is really slow by design and needing to wait the recommended
40-200ms after each request to get the response according to the ddc
protocol specifications.

For now this is a working draft, might switch to ddccontrol which is
much faster but limited to communicate over /dev/<id> which can't be
figured automatically or correlated with hyprctl monitors command
