Solved Backlight Dimming not working problem

[alblib]

Original implementation did not work because

1. The implementation did not respect LED driver LV52204MT chip specification. It needed to prevent to enter digital mode but keep it in pwm mode, but the original implementation did not make it go into pwm mode. Also, it had too long tick time (2ms) which is well beyond proper on-time of pwm mode and can make the chip shutdown or turn on mode.
2. As the tick was too long, it did not work in most of range (10~100), and at the value 10, it blinked so much so very unpleasant to watch. I had to shorten but not too shorten the tick time to work properly, and I also implemented PDM so make eye comfortable as well as the led driver chip misunderstand the intension.

tick has to be under 50us and use pdm so led driver dont go into digital mode. I worry this can make too much load on the chip. I think this is design flaw of the giga display shield. They should use dedicated pwm pin to control the backlight.

[alblib]

Also, I implemented lightness (human perception) percentage to the set function no the pwm duty cycle for convenience. Also, we have to make sure duty percentage goes not too low, otherwise the off time becomes too long so the led driver goes into shutdown mode. Thus, this implementation is just appropriate, considering every specification we have to satisfy.
