Two new items for displaying battery status:
- `vbattery`: font icons with 11 charge levels, separate charging/discharging
icon sets and color alerts for low/critical
- `hbattery`: block bar with 5 levels using integer bucketing
Both items share common configuration under `tide_battery_*`
(method, thresholds, critical/low colors) while each has its own
`tide_<item>_bg_color` and `tide_<item>_color`.
Supported backends: upower (default), sysfs (with customizable battery
name), termux.

Thanks for sharing @jose1711!
Few thoughts:
- This currently won't work on macOS because
upowerdoesn't exist on macOS. - There's no
command -qguard aroundupowerso it fails loudly.
Asks:
- Can we please add a guard around upower so it fails nicely?
- Can we add support for macOS?
pmset -g batt - Nice to have: turn it into a single item, using
tide_battery_style <horizontal|vertical>to switch to avoid duplicated logic that needs to stay in sync.

This will error on macOS because we don't have a guard here.

here as well.
Additionally, if combined into a single item with a switcher for style, this avoids duplicating logic in case it needs to be updated in the future
