Add button to select brightness level #2

The idea is to capture a use-defined upper bound on the brightness level. The photocell would continue to automatically adjust the brightness level based on ambient light, but the range would be bounded by the selection from the user.

Consider 3 levels of brightness. The normal range for LEDs is 0-15. The initial state would be 15 as the upper bound, which implies the full range of levels. A first push of the button would reduce the range, e.g. 0-11. A second push of the button would further reduce the range, e.g. 0-7. A third push would return to the full range, 0-15.

The button could be mounted on the GPS board.

Decided not to implement this feature as it does not add much value to the user experience.
