Bugfix: Repeatedly try to find screens if none are available (Thanks mxf)

Browse Source 
When rotating your screens (xrandr --output LVDS1 --rotate right), sometimes
the X server returned no screens which lead to an exit(1) of i3. Now, i3
tries to find screens for up to 5 seconds and only quits afterwards.
