[Portland] Adding support for xfce4-sreensaver to xdg-screensaver

[Jarno Suni]

Do you mean that there is no one to accept merge requests for
xdg-utils? I is sad, if the project is so dead.

I am interested in using "xdg-screensaver lock" in xflock4 script of
Xfce to delegate detecting running screensaver daemon to it. I can
detect xfce4-screensaver outside xdg-screensaver in Xfce, though.
Another use case for xdg-screensaver could be inhibiting screensaver
in certain circumstances, but I am not familiar with those techniques.
I read the script a bit and there seem to be different techniques
applied for different screensavers.

This definitely doesn't apply to all freedesktop.org projects, but I think most things with xdg in the name are not very actively maintained.
