Summary:
So far only the client was able to simulate user activity. This new
method allows the server to also simulate user activity on all created
idle timeouts. This is required by KWin to prevent idle timeouts when
the user interacts through KDE Connect's virtual touchpad. In that
situation the mouse pointer is used without updating the input time
stamp as it doesn't come from "real" input devices and thus the idle
timeout prevention is not activated.

Summary:
This is a preparation step to support idle_inhibit_unstable_v1 protocol.
As in Plasma powermanagement, screen locking, dpms, etc. is not
controlled by the wayland compositor but by external components through
the IdleTimeout interface the compositor needs a way to inhibit the idle
timeouts. So once idle_inhibit_unstable_v1 is implemented the compositor
can hook this up to the inhibit API in IdleInterface and thus inhibit
powermanagement, etc. as requested by the idle_inhibit_unstable_v1
protocol.
The added API is straight forward:
* inhibit: inhibits idle timeouts
* uninhibit: uninhibits again
* inhibit and uninhibit must be called in pairs, so twice inhibit,
means uninhibit must be called twice
* isInhibited: whether it's inhibited
* and a signal that it changed
The signal is mostly used internally to stop the timers.

The idle time interface is modelled for the use cases of the KIdleTime
framework to allow providing a Wayland specific implementation.
It supports registering idle timeouts which are triggered on server
side if there has not been any user activity on the seat for the
requested amount of time. Once user activity resumes a resume from idle
signal is emitted.
In additon there is the possibility to simulate user activity which
simulates the resume from idle.
