adding idle and noidle commands

Note that these commands aren't very usable in their current form.  idle()
blocks while waiting for events, and will thus hang if none are received.
Calling noidle() from another thread will cause idle() to return, but
python-mpd isn't considered re-entrant, so sharing instances between
threads isn't recommended.
