Bug Description

krillin @rtm #16

Reproduce:
1. Set alarm
2. Let alarm go off, but do not turn it off immediately—do not touch the phone surface, wait until the screen goes black
3. Try to disable alarm

What happens:
You need to turn on screen, press "OK" on alarm

What should have happened:
I should be able to silence the alarm using the power button. On iOS and Android power button enable snooze to prevent accidential disabling alarm.

Rationale: I set two alarms on weekdays, one at 07:07 and one at 09:07. When I wake up at 07:07 and go to school, the 09:07 alarm goes off during class. Removing the phone from my pocket, swiping, unlocking and dismissing the alarm, always takes about 3-4 rings.

Also when someone forget phone in the office, then it will be no possibility to disable alarm.

Related to bug 1340329.

---- UX Comment ----

Please see desired behaviour described below:

- If alarm goes off, user can tap power button to snooze it.

- If the screen is in idle, the alarm dialog will wake up the screen (see screen blanking policy doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RBoVknCLZ4GQ8E_iVftd3i_KmdxI5d6JrBt7i5EDZO0/edit?usp=sharing). The alarm will contain two action buttons: 'Snooze' and 'Off'.

- User can also dismiss the alarm in the dedicated app's UI.

Adding ubuntu-ux to get design opinion. Perhaps we could also add a settings option in the clock app to allow the user to decide if he would like to dismiss/snooze the alarm on pressing the power button.

I am not talking about snoozing here. I want the alarm/notification to go away completely.
