Keep inhibits across daemon restarts

Save held inhibits to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/xautolock-inhibit.json and restore them on start if the previous instance stopped within --restore-window (default 30s) on the same bus and the senders are still connected. The file is touched every 10s while inhibits are held, so crashes are timed too.

+# xautolock-inhibit
+
+Makes screen locking with `xautolock` respect the "don't lock the screen" requests that apps send, on X11 sessions without a desktop environment (for example a plain window manager like xmonad).
+
+Browsers, Steam, gamemode and other apps ask the desktop not to lock or blank the screen while a video or game is running, through the D-Bus service `org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver`. Without a desktop environment nothing provides that service, so the requests are dropped and the screen locks in the middle of a video. xautolock-inhibit provides it:
+
+- While at least one request is active, it runs `xautolock -disable` and pauses X screen blanking and DPMS.
+- When the last request is released, it waits a few seconds, then runs `xautolock -enable` and resumes blanking.
+
+xautolock stays your locker; xautolock-inhibit only switches it off and on.
+
+## How it works
+
+- Owns `org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver` on the session bus at both `/org/freedesktop/ScreenSaver` and `/ScreenSaver` (apps differ on the path), and implements `Inhibit` and `UnInhibit`.
+- Tracks requests per D-Bus client. If a client disconnects without releasing them (for example a browser crash), its requests are released.
+- Runs `xautolock` only when the number of active requests goes from 0 to 1 or back to 0. Re-enabling waits a few seconds (`--release-delay`), because browsers send short bursts of requests when a video starts.
+- Pauses X blanking with `XScreenSaverSuspend`, the same mechanism mpv uses, instead of changing `xset` settings. The X server ends the pause by itself if the daemon exits or crashes.
+- Requests whose reason is on an ignore list (default: `Playing audio`) are accepted and logged, but don't block locking. Firefox-based browsers send one for audio playback, which would otherwise keep the screen unlocked while music plays with nobody at the computer.
+- Keeps the requests it holds in `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/xautolock-inhibit.json`, so a restarted or crashed daemon takes them over. They are taken over only if the previous daemon stopped at most 30 seconds ago (`--restore-window`) on the same session bus, and only for clients still connected. A request released while no daemon was running can't be seen, so an old file isn't trusted.
+- On exit (including SIGTERM), it re-enables xautolock. The systemd unit also runs `xautolock -enable` when it stops, as a fallback.
+- If another program (a desktop environment) already owns `org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver`, it exits with status 2 instead of taking over.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `xautolock`, already running in the session
+- `python`, `python-gobject`
+- `libx11`, `libxss`
+
+## Installation
+
+Build and install the package with the included PKGBUILD:
+
+```
+makepkg -si
+```
+
+Then start it from your window manager's startup, after `xautolock`. For xmonad:
+
+```haskell
+spawnOnce "xautolock -time 10 -locker slock -detectsleep"
+spawnOnce "systemctl --user start xautolock-inhibit"
+```
+
+The unit has no `[Install]` section on purpose. Enabling it at login would also start it in a desktop environment, or before X is up; starting it from the window manager limits it to that session. The user service manager needs `DISPLAY` (and `XAUTHORITY`) in its environment, which `/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh` sets up for `startx` sessions.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+xautolock-inhibit [-i REASON] [--count-all] [-d SECONDS] [--restore-window SECONDS]
+```
+
+- `-i`, `--ignore-reason REASON`: request reason that doesn't block locking. Can be repeated; replaces the default (`Playing audio`).
+- `--count-all`: every request blocks locking; no reasons are ignored.
+- `-d`, `--release-delay SECONDS`: wait this long after the last release before re-enabling xautolock (default 5).
+- `--restore-window SECONDS`: take over requests from a previous daemon that stopped at most this long ago (default 30; 0 disables).
+
+To change the options used by the service:
+
+```
+systemctl --user edit xautolock-inhibit.service
+```
+
+```ini
+[Service]
+ExecStart=
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/xautolock-inhibit --count-all
+```
+
+Every request, release and xautolock call is logged to the journal:
+
+```
+journalctl --user -u xautolock-inhibit
+```
+
+## App notes
+
+- **Sandboxed apps** may be blocked from reaching the service. For a firejail profile that filters D-Bus (`dbus-user filter`, as the Firefox-based profiles do), allow it in the app's `.local` file, e.g. `zen-browser.local`:
+
+  ```
+  dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver
+  ```
+
+- **Games**: Steam's overlay and gamemode (`inhibit_screensaver=1`) send requests on their own.
+- **scrcpy** only sends a request when started with `--disable-screensaver`.
+- **mpv** talks to the X server directly and doesn't need this daemon.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- A release sent while the daemon is down is lost: if the daemon is back within `--restore-window`, that request stays active until its app exits. After a longer stop, all held requests are dropped and apps don't send them again.
+- `SimulateUserActivity` is accepted but does nothing. Calls are logged once when a client starts sending them and once, with a count, after 5 minutes without any.
+- `GetActive` always returns `false`.
