Add ability to set cutom time intervals in PowerToys Awake

[Nick2bad4u]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Instead of allowing 1/2 hour, 1 hour, and 2 hours. Allow us to set a custom time interval.

Scenario when this would be used?

Anything outside the 3 setting above. More or less time can be set.

The settings.json configuration file is located at %HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake. "Keep awake temporarily" options can be adjusted by modifying the "customTrayTimes" value, an array consisting of name and duration (in seconds) to stay awake. For example: "customTrayTimes":{"8 hours":28800}.

Will there ever be a GUI to do this instead?

@Nick2bad4u potentially, but nothing on the immediate radar yet since there was not a lot of demand for this feature.

Is it possible to add multiple times in the settings file?

From the docs

The settings.json configuration file is located at %HomePath%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\Awake.

For example: "customTrayTimes":{"8 hours":28800}.

My experience is that customTrayTimes is an object, not an array. The example is correct.
Also, customTrayTimes replaces the default time intervals rather than adding to them.

@Nick2bad4u, you can add multiple times in the settings.json file by comma-separating them like this:
"customTrayTimes": { "8 hours": 28800, "4 hours": 14400, "2 hours": 7200, "1 hour": 3600, "30 minutes": 1800 }

I tested this exact setting and it works great.

It would be excellent if the notification area Awake offered 8,4,2,1,0.5 hrs as default intervals (as above), in place of the existing 2,1,0.5 hrs.
