Pause X screen blanking while an inhibit is active

Browsers don't pause X blanking themselves, so the screen still went
black after 10 minutes even with xautolock disabled. Use
XScreenSaverSuspend (MIT-SCREEN-SAVER) instead of xset: no global
setting is changed, and the X server ends the pause on its own if the
daemon exits or crashes. The suspend also holds off DPMS.

Add libx11 and libxss to depends.
