power: implement new design

Created attachment 229881 [details] [review] patch This is a very partial implementation of the new power panel design here: https://live.gnome.org/Design/SystemSettings/Power The reason for doing this part first is that with the lock related settings moving to the privacy panel, this will allow us to ditch the screen panel altogether.

So, comment from Allan was that the idea with 'Screen Power Saving' was to make it just a switch, and have 'smart' behaviour, like adjust the timeout depending on ac/battery, etc.
Do we really need more pop-up dialogs? At least on my laptop, the 3.6 Power panel only used up about half of the vertical space used by the Overview so there should still be enough space to just have the settings inline. Also, it doesn't look like any normal GNOME button I'm used to. "On" is unusual as we already have a widget (in English) that says "On"
I've now pushed a wip/power branch that contains a mostly complete implementation of the new design.

The new design only includes one dialog. It also contains more settings than in 3.6 (this is the power saving section). I don't think we could have accommodated these additional settings without using a dialog. Also, the dialog contains the settings that aren't as interesting, and probably won't be used repeatedly, so it makes sense to have them one step removed. > Also, it doesn't look like any normal GNOME button I'm used to. "On" is unusual > as we already have a widget (in English) that says "On" We're using this type of widget in other places, including initial setup and some of the other settings panels. It's new, so we'll need to keep an eye on it, but it won't be the only place where people will see it.
squashed patch for the new panel can be found in bug 689614
