Upgraded the dwmblocks patch for statuscmd which changes the signalling
mechanism from SIGUSR1 to SIGRTMIN which is likely to cause issues for
those that already have a working setup. A compatibility option has been
added which changes this back to SIGUSR1. Note that configuration was
also changed.
This was ref. reported issue #114.
