[UX] Show Bluetooth battery/accumulator level on Bluetooth screen instead of power screen
Currently, the battery level for Bluetooth connected devices is shown separately on the power screen, like this:
Also, the Bluetooth screen itself only shows whether the device is connected:
IMHO, this is a bad UX, as users expect the information about a Bluetooth connected device (like a mouse or headset), to be available in the same place. This includes the battery level, as it is fundamental to tell the user to maybe charge the device or find out potential connection issues due to soon running out battery etc. Also, literally, any other (operation) system I have seen does it like this. Be it Windows, Android or iOS. All show the battery level of the Bluetooth device next to the device itself.
Design Tasks

Development Tasks
-
not much, move stuff around

Possibly related to #224 (closed), where the initial issue alaos asks for a display "next to" the Bluetooth device, but somehow it was implemented in the power panel, which IMHO is not optimal.
Also, if this is accepted, it makes sense to think about adjusting GNOME-Shell to do it in the same way, too in the Bluetooth panel.
