Input: export LEDs as class devices in sysfs

Browse Source 
This change creates a new input handler called "leds" that exports LEDs on input
devices as standard LED class devices in sysfs and allows controlling their
state via sysfs or via any of the standard LED triggers. This allows to
re-purpose and reassign LDEs on the keyboards to represent states other
than the standard keyboard states (CapsLock, NumLock, etc).

The old API of controlling input LEDs by writing into /dev/input/eventX
devices is still present and will take precedence over accessing via LEDs
subsystem (i.e. it may override state set by a trigger). If input device is
"grabbed" then requests coming through LED subsystem will be ignored.

LED handling under Linux
========================
If you're reading this and thinking about keyboard leds, these are
handled by the input subsystem and the led class is *not* needed.
In its simplest form, the LED class just allows control of LEDs from
userspace. LEDs appear in /sys/class/leds/. The maximum brightness of the
LED is defined in max_brightness file. The brightness file will set the brightness
