  Allow double-pressing power button to bypass home screen

Bug description:
  This is related to bug #1384814. On my current phone, I love to the
  point of not wanting to give up the ability to:

  1. When the phone is locked/screen off, double-press power button to
  bypass home screen and go immediately either the app at hand or
  alternatively to the unlock screen if the phone is currently locked.

  2. When the phone has screen on, double-press power button to force
  enabling lock code even if the setting would be not to lock
  immediately.

  This feature should not have any problematic consequences - at least
  on my current phone the possibility to double-click power has not ever
  posed any accidental problems and it does not affect the user
  experience if the person doesn't know about it. But the 2. can't be
  implemented naturally as long as the phone always locks itself anyway
  with a power press. This is requested to be only optional in bug
  #1384814.

  The feature gives a lot of power to the user in situations where
  there's something "ongoing" in the sense that information on the phone
  is being used while on the move, for example constantly checking for
  navigation. Instead of power button + swipe + unlock code it's
  possible to just double-press power button and immediately see what's
  needed (provided locking is not enabled to be immediate without
  timeout). And then if the user is not having the phone locking
  immediately after screen off, it's still possible to force the locking
  when for example at a busy city center where there is a risk of a
  theft or such.
