Prevent screensaver mode from activating

[junocomp]

I usually install Caffeine indicator to prevent my machine from going to sleep, but I prefer not to have it. I don't really like having to many indicators.

Xubuntu/xfce has implemented a screensaver locker from activating on the Power applet called Presentation Mode.

I think it would be a neat idea to have it on eOS

Something we could do for this would be to have a "Keep Device Awake" toggle in the indicator that prevented screen off and suspend, but also changed the indicator to be super obvious that it's on. If we added this, I'd also want to make sure that it turns off automatically once the computer does actually restart, suspend, log out, lock, etc. so it can't get left on accidentally.

@elementary/ux ideas for what to do with the indicator? We could either slide something out from the battery (like we do for the percent), or color the icon or something.

What about some kind of badge? Similar to bluetooth indicator, which has a "dot" when paired to something.
