Keep the song screen on #44

In the screen where the song is displayed, keep the screen on. For other screens, the default timeout is used as always.

I was troubled when the song screen was first dimmed and then turned off while I was reading the chart. This PR addresses that by setting a Layout attribute that tells Android to not shut off the screen while the layout in question is in focus.

Hi tutiluren, thanks for addressing this issue. But imo it's not a good idea to generally leave on the screen forever and drain battery to death in case you forget to switch off the screen manually. As there is a wake lock implementation for the song view while auto scroll I would revise the functionality to work also on plain viewing mode. Maybe the best approach would be to provide preference setting to let the user decide how long to leave on the screen.

Regards
