Fix acpitool 0.5.1 to work with linux 3.X

acpitool does not work anymore with linux 3 but worked before with 2.6.

acpitool checks the linux kernel version before accessing /sys/power/state, the default is still to use /proc/acpi/sleep (linux 2.4).
A check is done on the version in /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease, which was either starting by 2.4 or 2.6. However, now linux starts with "3.X", so it won't use the linux-2.6 compatible interface but the old linux-2.4 one, which does not work.
