[sysinfo] draft updated

As per yesterday's decision to carry out with the changes proposed in 
ACTION-80, I have implemented the simplification of the API, as well as 
made a few more fixes in the specification. Couple of notes/questions:

- I have removed access to individual ambient light sensors. It might 
have been interesting to keep them: a light sensor near the display is 
more interesting than other sensors when it comes to deciding whether to 
dim the screen. However, that functionality would have required a scheme 
for describing the location of the sensor, or the direction of the light 
it measure, or whatnot. That seems too complicated to me.

- The same reasoning applies to proximity, as I see no good way of 
naming different proximity sensors in an interoperable and extensible way.

Max.
