As mentioned in some issues (e.g., this one), certain actions can spin up disks without generating any actual I/O.
As a result, hd-idle is unable to detect that the disk has been spun up, and it will not issue a spin-down command until new activity is detected.
This PR proposes adding an option that allows hd-idle to trigger a spin-down command regardless of the disk’s assumed spinning state. It also introduces a safeguard to prevent the disk from being spun down too frequently.
