Title: New plugin for reading from multiple pipes

This plugin allows to display data from multiple pipes.
New data will always overwrite the currently displayed data.
However, if a timeout is specified, the previous content is restored.

Configuration works like this:
BufferedPipeReader [ ( Timeout, "/path/to/fifo/pipe" ), (..), .. ]

If Timeout is set to 0 then the content is persistent, i.e. it will be
reset to any previous value, it will itself become the previous value.

If Timeout is set to a negative value the earth will stop spinning, so
don't do it.
