Auto standby timers can back up when not in live TV

If an "auto standby" power timer is created with Repeat type repeated is set up, and the T series box is left in a non-live TV screen, a new "A finished powertimer wants to set your Beyonwiz Tx to standby. Do that now?" for each "Sleep delay" interval that elapses without any remote input.

The use then needs to clear each one explicitly.

This can be fixed by using AddPopupWithCallback instead of a AddNotificationWithCallback when the popup is invoked.

There is probably also a similar bug for "auto shutdown" timers.

This bug is related to Bug #511.

Replication steps

Create an "auto standby" power timer with Sleep delay as short as possible (10 min), and Repeat type "repeated".

Save the timer, return to live TV, and then enter a non-live TV screen, e.g. media selection (MEDIA from live TV).

Wait at least twice the Delay time in the timer without using the remote or front panel.

Exit from the screen back to live TV. The "A finished powertimer ..." popup will appear. Allow it to count down for 10 sec or so. Then select "no". A new popup will appear and start counting down from the full 180 seconds timeout. There will be a popup for each multiple of the Delay time that has elapsed without remote input.
