Subject: [PATCH] wmbattery: Fix memory leak.

Patch by David Johnson <davijoh3@cisco.com> to fix Debian bug #816872 [1]:

> wmbattery appears to have a memory leak.  When invoked with "wmbattery -w 2"
> it is leaking approx 350KB/minute on my system.  Eventually it runs out of
> memory and is killed by kernel.

...

> I've concluded libupower-glib is just super leaky.  The below patch
> moves the upower API calls into a child process that doesn't exist for
> long to keep the leaks out of the main process.

> Tested against stretch versions, looks good.
