Philip Withnall a8fcf42197 breakManager: Make brightness setting function clearer
Confusingly, the `brightness` property of
`ClutterBrightnessContrastEffect` has type `CoglColor`, but the
`set_brightness()` setter takes a single `float`.

We previously chose to use the property setter everywhere for
consistency (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3655#note_2369353),
but didn’t realise the types don’t match.

GJS optimises `this._brightnessEffect.brightness = foo` into a call to
`clutter_brightness_contrast_effect_set_brightness()`, which means the
type mismatch between the two results in a warning (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8280).

So, let’s change from a property setter into an explicit method call to
avoid the type ambiguity, at the expense of a bit of clarity from using
the same method to set the initial value and each property animation
step.
