@davidpanderson do you mind making these signed 64 bit ints instead of unsigned so that we conform to the new time standard?

POSIX requires time to be a signed int. The complete spec in <time.h> is actually

struct timespec {
    time_t   tv_sec;        /* seconds */
    long     tv_nsec;       /* nanoseconds */
};

Where time_t is typedefd internally in the header file to a 64 bit signed integer type on that platform.

We obviously don't need the nanoseconds part for this so just using the 64 bit signed integer is perfectly fine.

Uh, sure.

This PR fails during the build for Android:

hostinfo_unix.cpp:567:52: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: 'int' and 'unsigned int' [-Wsign-compare]
            strlcpy(buf2, strchr(buf, ':') + 2, ((t<sizeof(buf2))?t:sizeof(buf2)));
                                                  ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~

        int fd = shm_open("/idle_detect_shmem",  O_RDONLY, 0);

@davidpanderson, please review and merge if it looks fine to you.
I have tested new idle detection mechanism, and it looks like it works as expected.
