PATCH> apmd-3.0beta9

Here are two small patches:

 * apmd.c: Estimate battery lifetime from longest available time
   baseline (ie, the "major" checkpoint).  Previous release used the
   shortest baseline and hence was highly oscillatory.

 * apmd_proxy: reset power_performance/conserve upon wake-up for
   drives that forget their timeout setting.
