Added notifications on changing brightness, will stack by default to show the current level before disappearing. The script to change and notify can be run through the command `control-brightness`, and is bound to the sxhkd media key shortcuts for brightness changes. Removed the brightness indicator from polybar since it should be easy enough to check current brightness by doing a quick higher-lower and that's it. Kept the module in polybar configuration script since I might reconsider its removal if it turns out to have been useful.
