smart plugin: add IgnoreSleepMode option to ignore sleeping disks

This option enables the smart plugin to use disks that libatasmart mistakenly
reports as asleep.  This happens because libatasmart has not been updated to
incorporate support for newer idle states in the ATA spec.

+Normally, the C<smart> plugin will ignore disks that are reported to be asleep.
+This option disables the sleep mode check and allows the plugin to collect data
+from these disks anyway. This is useful in cases where libatasmart mistakenly
+reports disks as asleep because it has not been updated to incorporate support
+for newer idle states in the ATA spec.
