"In Use" and "Not In Use" suspension preferences could prevent computing indefinitely #4939

Description

@Vulpine05

Describe the bug
BOINC has the option to suspend computer usage in two ways: When the computer is in use (IU), and when it is not in use (NIU). It is possible to enable suspension for both IU and NIU at the same time. It is also possible to set the values for each such that BOINC will never work on any tasks.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open BOINC Manager->Options->Preferences.
  2. Set IU time to 0.08, and NIU to 0.05 minutes. Save changes.

Expected behavior
A message should let the user know to change the settings, and these settings should not be saved.

System Information

  • OS: Windows 10
  • BOINC Version: 7.20.2, but I have seen this in earlier versions.
