The systems that are affected by this change are those whose
`system-type' is equal to darwin (and that have the "pmset" program
available).  What changes for the users of those systems is that they
will be able to use display-battery-mode when they choose to do so.
(That mode just didn't do anything for them previously.)
display-battery-mode is not enabled by default.

I don't use Darwin so I couldn't really test the code myself.  Samuel
Lauber was so kind to do that for me.  I think there are quite some
people with laptops running OS X and using CVS Emacs.  So I guess that
the code will get some decent testing when it is committed now.
