Alex fe0e1c139b power-profiles-daemon: preserve backward compatibility for driver
Keep the {driver} placeholder working and support older
power-profiles-daemon versions that only expose a single Driver DBus
property, while still reading the new CpuDriver/PlatformDriver fields.

- Read the legacy Driver property and fall back to it when CpuDriver or
  PlatformDriver are missing (older daemon).
- Derive {driver} from CpuDriver when the daemon no longer exposes
  Driver (recent daemon), so existing configs using {driver} keep
  working.
- Align the default tooltip-format in the constructor with the
  documented default.

# FILES
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar/config
# CONFIGURATION
[- *Option*
:- *Typeof*
:- *Default*
:= *Description*
|[ *format*
:[ string
:[ "{icon}"
:[ Message displayed on the bar. {icon} and {profile} are respectively substituted with the icon representing the active profile and its full name.
|[ *tooltip-format*
:[ string
:[ "Power profile: {profile}\\nCPU driver: {cpu_driver}\\nPlatform driver: {platform_driver}"
:[ Messaged displayed in the module tooltip. {icon} and {profile} are respectively substituted with the icon representing the active profile and its full name. {cpu_driver} and {platform_driver} are substituted with the CPU and platform drivers reported by recent power-profiles-daemon versions. {driver} is kept for backward compatibility: it resolves to the legacy single driver on older daemons and falls back to the CPU driver on recent ones.
|[ *tooltip*

:[ true
:[ Display the tooltip.
|[ *format-icons*
:[ object
:[ See default value in the example below.
:[ Icons used to represent the various power-profile. *Note*: the default configuration uses the font-awesome icons. You may want to override it if you don't have this font installed on your system.

:[ false
:[ Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
# CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES
Compact display (default config):
```
"power-profiles-daemon": {

"format-icons": {
"default": "",
"performance": "",
"balanced": "",
"power-saver": ""
}
}
```
Display the full profile name:
```
