🔖 Restoration point for Phase 1 completion

ADD: Trackpad functionality - restore touch_handler and touch panel K…

…config

Restore complete trackpad functionality from trackpad-mode (ed55c16):
- Add touch_handler.c and touch_handler.h for CST816S touch input
- Enable Touch Panel support in shield conf (CONFIG_INPUT, CONFIG_ZMK_POINTING, etc.)
- Add touch_handler compilation to CMakeLists.txt

This combines v1.1.2-dev critical fix (battery+sensor decoupling) with trackpad-mode touch functionality.

Module version for v1.1.2-dev config

Critical Fix: Enable battery widget without ambient light sensor
- Decoupled sensor hardware from sensor subsystem
- Always enable I2C/SENSOR for battery support
- Only disable APDS9960 driver when automatic brightness not needed
- Fixed brightness=0 fallback issue

Test Results (2025-11-17):
- ✅ Battery ON + Sensor ON: Working
- ✅ Battery ON + Sensor OFF: Working (main fix)
- ✅ Battery OFF + Sensor ON: Working
- ✅ Battery OFF + Sensor OFF: Working

Key Changes:
1. Kconfig: Removed I2C/SENSOR from ambient light sensor selection
2. Kconfig.defconfig: Enable I2C/SENSOR by default
3. seeeduino_xiao_ble.overlay: Add I2C device tree nodes
4. brightness_control.c: Fixed brightness=0 fallback
