Subject: [PATCH] dmeventd configurable idle exit time

dmeventd nominally exits after 1 hour of idle time. There are use cases for
this, esp. with socket activation, but also cases where users don't expect
dmeventd to exit.

Provide a tuning knob via environment variable, DMEVENTD_IDLE_EXIT_TIMEOUT,
that can be -1 to not exit, or a configurable time for different idle exit.

Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
Fixes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/682556

Forward-ported from 2.02.184 to 2.03.05
