Public bug reported:

Whenever Unity starts it sets the screen brightness to maximum, even
when the laptop is on battery. Lowering the screen brightness doesn't
persist across reboots.

To reproduce:
1. Start laptop (in this case a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro) in battery mode (i.e. disconnected from the AC adaptor)
2. Unity will start in maximum brightness. Lower brightness using keyboard brightness keys.
3. Shutdown laptop and start it back up again (still with the AC adapter disconnected)

Expected result:
The screen brightness settings should be preserved across reboots

Actual result:
After each new start Unity sets the screen brightness to maximum, meaning the user has to remember to manually reduce it or the battery will be quickly used up
