Background/smart mining. If a users' computer is plugged into a power

source, and CPU has been idle for some time, then begin mining to some
threshold (don't destroy the users' CPU).

This patch only supports windows and linux (I've only tested on Win64 and
Ubuntu).

The variables currently default to pretty conservative values (i.e. 20%
CPU mining threshold).
