Amir Alexander Abdelbaki aa4bc7ae1e Make the min_brightness step actionable, and cap max_brightness
min_brightness was one line with no procedure. Setting it to 1 is wrong —
triacs stop latching reliably at very low phase angles, so it presents as
flicker rather than a dim glow. Document walking it down to instability
and backing off a step, since the usable floor is fixture-specific.

Also add max_brightness, which matters more: filament life goes roughly
as V^-13 against light as V^3.4, so running at 95% roughly doubles lamp
life for ~15% less output. Worth having on a fixture whose lamp type may
be discontinued.
