We can't provide the value to userspace without reflecting the difference between
the two ways of expressing it.

It seems there are 3 ways sensitivity is expressed.
1. Raw value in same units as the measurement (easy one and what is currently reported)
2. Percentage of range - also relatively easy to transform into the same as 1.
3. Percentage of prior reading..  This one doesn't fit in any existing ABI, so
   unfortunately we'll have to invent something new along the lines of
   *_hysteresis_relative
