Patch to hal-spec : 3/6-button

[David Zeuthen]

One important (compared to my nitpicks :-) thing; as you can
see here

 http://cvs.freedesktop.org/*checkout*/hal/hal/doc/spec/hal-
spec.html#device-properties-volume

we also have the concept called DeviceConditions which represent
things that cannot be captured in properties. So, we should use
that to convey that someone pressed the button; What about calling
the conditions SystemButtonPressed and SystemButtonReleased?
