led-class: always implement blinking

Currently, blinking LEDs can be awkward because it is not guaranteed that
all LEDs implement blinking.  The trigger that wants it to blink then
needs to implement its own timer solution.

Rather than require that, add led_blink_set() API that triggers can use.
This function will attempt to use hw blinking, but if that fails
implements a timer for it.  To stop blinking again, brightness_set() also
needs to be wrapped into API that will stop the software blink.

As a result of this, the timer trigger becomes a very trivial one, and
hopefully we can finally see triggers using blinking as well because it's
always easy to use.

 Some LEDs can be programmed to blink without any CPU interaction. To
 support this feature, a LED driver can optionally implement the
-blink_set() function (see <linux/leds.h>). If implemented, triggers can
-attempt to use it before falling back to software timers. The blink_set()
-function should return 0 if the blink setting is supported, or -EINVAL
-otherwise, which means that LED blinking will be handled by software.
