[idleaction] New module (WORK IN PROGESS)

idleaction is supposed to check if the machine is in use and trigger certain actions if not
It can terminate sessions that have been idle for a certain amount of time,
and it can shutdown the computer if no user logged in for some time.
In the future it will also be able to forcefully shut down the computer
at a given time of day.

+This program prints the "idle time" of the user to stdout.  The "idle
+time" is the number of milliseconds since input was received on any
+input device.  If unsuccessful, the program prints a message to stderr
+and exits with a non-zero exit code.

+/*!
+ * This function works around an XServer idleTime bug in the
+ * XScreenSaverExtension if dpms is running. In this case the current
+ * dpms-state time is always subtracted from the current idletime.
+ * This means: XScreenSaverInfo->idle is not the time since the last
+ * user activity, as descriped in the header file of the extension.
+ * This result in SUSE bug # and sf.net bug #. The bug in the XServer itself
+ * is reported at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=6439.
+ *
+ * Workaround: Check if if XServer is in a dpms state, check the 
+ *             current timeout for this state and add this value to 
+ *             the current idle time and return.
+ *
+ * \param _idleTime a unsigned long value with the current idletime from
+ *                  XScreenSaverInfo->idle
+ * \return a unsigned long with the corrected idletime
