Also put more trace/dbg messages in place so it's easy to track
these issues when upower breaks itself again in the future.

Dynamically changing the icon in the panel itself looks horrible.
Revert and improve it later.

This patch moves some code around, mostly putting shared stuff into
power-common inside common/. It also creates a new plugin to monitor
all the batteries in one icon on the panel rather than multiple icons
inside the system tray. It also removes the power-info application
as that will be moved inside the newly reworked settings dialog.

Make changes so that xfpm will compile in --enable-debug=full with
the nick/xfce4-dev-tools deprecated+seal branch.

Update autotools, fix whitespace issue, change how the version
string is presented with make distcheck, fix --disable-dpms so
it will actually compile, and update the minimum versions for
the 4.12 roadmap.

Updates from the per-4.8 panel registration method. Also updates
the gtk about function for the new field and updates the makefile
for the plugin.

The "Backlight" RandR property is a 32-bit integer. This means that the int32 (gint32) type should be used to represent brightness levels. The attached patch does nothing else than changing the brightness level representation from glong to gint32. This fixes the screen auto-dimming issue and brightness panel plugin issue.

subject for polkit auth detection.

Use gint instead of guint for the brightness level.

Brightness control now should be fully working, control of the lcd
backlight is done using xrandr by default but if this fails and if
HAL support is compiled then fallback, but still probably we need
to provide a key to force the power manager to use HAL when HAL
support is compiled because sometimes xrand reports that everything
is fine but it fails silently to change the brightness level, uhh
still too much suckiness in the backlight control on Linux.

a big part of xfpm and its configuration settings are broken.

In this branch polkit is a new optional dependency, this is for
getting if the user is permitted to use org.freedesktop.Devicekit.Power
sleep interfaces, also by default the power manager will try to
manipulate the lcd brightness using xrandr (doesn't work yet),
HAL remains an optional dependency of fall back for the lcd
brightness and in case of mapping failure of keyboard sleep keys.

If HAL support is compiled but HAL is not running
or stopped, xfpm should in future commits be able to handle this.
