Request: Configuration option to set idle timeout lower than 5 minutes

[RoguedBear]

@nearcatch
while making the plugin, i knew this would be one of the first feature request.
These are the 2 reasons why i chose 5 minutes as the minimum

1. if you haven't opened Discord for 5 minutes that is a pretty good indicator that you're afk from discord.
2. Having something lower than 5 minutes, could put your account at the risk of getting banned.
   Say if you are switching back and forth between Discord and some other app window, and the timeout is pretty low then your status would be going idle->online->idle->online quickly. and it could look like spamming Discord's API

So keeping both these points in mind, 5 minutes minimum seems pretty reasonable to me.

But, if you like to live on the edge, you can manually change the timeout value to whatever you want by editing the configuration file, though i DO NOT endorse this.

• you need to open BetterDiscord's plugin folder and you will find the config file: AutoIdleOnAFK.config.json
• in there you'll see "afkTimeout": 5, that is the timeout value in minutes and to change that just change the number 5 to your liking

2. Having something lower than 5 minutes, _could_ put your account at the risk of getting banned.
   Say if you are switching back and forth between Discord and some other app window, and the timeout is pretty low then your status would be going `idle->online->idle->online` quickly. and it could look like spamming Discord's API

* you need to open BetterDiscord's plugin folder and you will find the config file: `AutoIdleOnAFK.config.json`

* in there you'll see `"afkTimeout": 5`, that is the timeout value in minutes and to change that just change the number `5` to your liking

seems reasonable, I'll keep it 5
