[yocto] Turn off X screen blanking

[Robert D Kocisko]

Thank you Khem.  I was thinking that modifying the X command line to do
this would somehow be more 'low-level' and more 'official' than using
xset.  Does anyone know if there is a difference?

I also realized that it would probably work to .bbappend the SRC_FILES
variable with another patch file that tweaks the command line.  I haven't
tried it yet though.
