The setup-background-mining option can be used to select
background mining when a wallet loads. The user will be asked
the first time the wallet is created.
If a thread asks to stop the miner, m_stop will be set, and
that thread will wait to join. If the main thread is exiting
at that time, it will ask the miner to stop, but the miner
will claim it's not mining and early out since m_stop is
set. This will cause the database and other things to get
shutdown. If the miner happens to find a block at that time,
it will try to call core, and crash.
Instead, lock and check whether any threads are currently
in m_threads, since they'll only be cleared once the threads
are joined. Moreover, since we lock, the second thread will
have to wait for the first one to have finished. Calling
join twice on a thread seems fine as per pthread_join(3).

cryptonote::miner::get_system_times(): Fetch the system's total and
idle time using sysctl kern.cp_time.
cryptonote::miner::get_process_time(): Use the same implementation as
Linux and OSX, the times(3) function conforms to POSIX.1 and is
available on FreeBSD.
cryptonote::miner::on_battery_power(): Try to fetch the battery status
using sysctl hw.acpi.acline. If that fails (if ACPI is not enabled on
the system), then try querying /dev/apm.
