Monitor/screen standby on Raspberry Pi 2

These instructions are kind of hastily thrown together so you might want to research this on your own a bit more and not simply copy-paste this.

We will use xscreensaver (from the repos) and tvservice - which is (apparently) preinstalled in /opt/vc/bin/tvservice - to control the video output and turn the connected monitor on and off.
