Locks: Rework to avoid unnecessary display reopening
The extremely useful "Locks" plugin eats quite a lot of CPU (>2% here on a old-ish laptop), unfortunately. The plug-in unnecessary reopens the display, which is quite expensive operation. It results into 16 syscalls: socket(PF_LOCAL) -> connect(sun_path=@"/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"}) -> getpeername() -> uname() -> access(".Xauthority") -> open(".Xauthority") -> fstat() -> mmap() -> read() -> close() -> munmap() -> getsockname() -> fcntl(F_SETFD) -> fcntl(F_SETFL) -> shutdown() -> close() This is almost half of all the syscalls that we ought to execute for the plug-in to work. Now, considering the useful work and that "Locks" runs every 200 milliseconds, it gives us >300 syscalls (and a lot more wake-ups) per second. This commit fixes the reopening issue, effectively halving the CPU consumption (down to ~1%). The patch also makes it easier to implement event-driven indicators that will reduce the idle CPU consumption to 0.
