Honor prefix for installing gamemoderun to properly work in cross
environment so it can be installed in e.g. /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin
instead of /usr/bin like it's already done for gamemoded.
The install_mode option was only added in Meson 0.47. In versions prior
to that, it will base the mode on the permissions of the source file,
so set this executable to be compatible with older versions.
See #115.
This should remove a point of failure currently where users fail to set LD_PRELOAD correctly, or the path is wrong somehow.
FWIW: The old method still works, and I've noted that in the README.
This adds 10-gamemode.conf as a limits.d configuration file and with-pam-group meson option to allow renicing as an unpriviledged user being part of the specified group.

Always install the dbus service file and specify the systemd
unit file in it. This makes the service dbus-activatable and
thus we don't need to explicitly enable it (also we have one
less daemon running, if it is not needed).
This commit adds configuration support for the renice value and amends
documentation and examples. This commit by itself does nothing, the
following commit is needed to actually apply the new settings.

This adds support for a new configuration option "softrealtime" to be
read from the general section. This commit alone does nothing, the
following commit adds actually making use of the value.

gamemoded will now load and merge settings from the following locations - arrays will merge and single settings will overwrite.
1. /usr/share/gamemode/
2. /etc/
3. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config/
4. $PWD
This allows the client to query the daemon about the status of gamemode.
Returns the following:
0 if gamemode is inactive
1 if gamemode is active
2 if gamemode is active and this client is registered
-1 if the query failed
Passing -s to gamemoded will simply query and print the current status.
Allows for more comprehensive testing when using 'gamemoded -r' as well as more reactionary program behaviour
This allows for easy requesting of gamemode and pausing for any signal
Primarily useful for simple tests, but also functionally to allow enterning and exiting gamemode manually
A much requested feature, this allows for providing custom scripts in the config file. An example in the man page is below and would trigger both a system notification, and allow control over a background crypto mining script automatically in gamemode.
[custom]
; Custom scripts (executed using the shell) when gamemode starts and ends
start=notify-send "GameMode started"
/home/me/bin/stop_ethmining.sh
end=notify-send "GameMode ended"
/home/me/bin/start_ethmining.sh
Scripts are run with system() and do not have any special privilages, as with the rest of the daemon, custom scripts that require root will need their own permissions set up externally.
This commit also renames two defines as they needed to be moved to the public interface.
