brightness: If ambient light sensor is disabled, save the cause in pref

This CL creates a new local-state pref called
kAmbientLightSensorDisabledReason that stores the reason that the
ambient light sensor was disabled. When the brightness control in
Settings feature is enabled for all users, we anticipate a possibility
where many users may unintentionally permanently disable the ambient
light sensor by changing the brightness, without realizing what they're
doing. This pref allows us to "roll-back" (if necessary) the disablement
of auto-brightness for a specific subset of users (e.g. users who
disabled the ambient light sensor because they changed the brightness
via the keyboard/quick-settings), but keep the disablement of
auto-brightness for other users (e.g. users who manually disabled
auto-brightness via the Settings app).

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure.

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
