Switch musicdolphin's screen from the IR remote's power key

pi_kiosk installs kiosk-screen on|off|toggle|status, which switches the monitor via
DPMS on the kiosk's X display (the Dell P2419H has no HDMI-CEC). Turning it back on
also turns DPMS off again, as .xinitrc does, so the screen never blanks by itself.

musicdolphin's backend config runs `kiosk-screen toggle` for the power key (the new
screen: section, MusicMouse 2d0caeb). config.yml is install-once, so the running host
is changed by hand the same way.

# Managed by ansible (pi_kiosk role).
#
# kiosk-screen on|off|toggle|status - switch the kiosk's monitor on or off.
#
# "Off" is DPMS: X stops the HDMI signal and the monitor drops into standby. The
# session, the browser and everything playing carry on. The MusicMouse backend runs
# `kiosk-screen toggle` for the IR remote's power key (its config's screen: section);
# it works over ssh as root too.
#
# .xinitrc turns DPMS off so the screen never blanks by itself. Forcing it off has to
# turn DPMS on, so `on` turns it back off again - otherwise the screen would blank on
# its own ten minutes after every switch-on.
