[mythtv] [patch]Adjustable active time for LCD-device

[Leo Weppelman]

This patch make the active time for the LCD display adjustable. I was
annoyed by the short time (5 secs.) that I had to read the menu before
the display went in-active. So I liked to prolong the active time. Some
people chimed in that they wanted a configurable amount of active time,
so that what I did....


This is a re-submit of a patch I posted a few months ago. Since then a
lot has changed in mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp so here is an updated
patch.
