Changed backlight utility, fixed some file permissions

Changed the revelant lines in bootstrap source code as well as the shortcuts
dedicated to backlight management in i3

-## The idea here is:                                                                                         #

-##      bright ambient  -> lower monitor light contribution impact                                           #
-## But, at the same time, obviously (as that is clight main feature):                                        #
-##      dark ambient    -> lower monitor backlight level    -> lower monitor light contribution impact       #
-##      high ambient    -> high monitor backlight level     -> higher monitor light contribution impact      #
-## We can assume these 2 contributions to zero each other, letting us just compute screen-emitted brightness #
