When backing up a machine with a monitor using logind to control idle
timeout and things like DPMS, borgmatic can block the screen from
turning on/off with systemd-inhibit. This is because by default
systemd-inhibit will block "idle:sleep:shutdown". Borgmatic does not
need to care about idle, only about suspend and shutdown. So, add an
explicit --what flag for what borgmatic should inhibit.

For more information see systemd-inhibit(1).
