Automatic board detection for initiation

See original GitHub issue

Further fleshing out our discussion of automatic board detection/initiation so hopefully we don’t need to manually initiate the board, in both init and CLI files.

I suppose if there’s a reliable way to detect the board type, we could have automatic detection if no board type is explicitly provided - perhaps by checking the existence of each path in _BACKLIGHT_SYSFS_PATHS?

I was thinking of using /proc/device-tree/model
