Add power_profile, a script that changes the ACPI CPU Cx idle state and/or

the throttling state in response to line transitions.  Future plans
include adding support for CPU frequency changes.

Add a devd.conf entry for calling this script.

The default values for this are:
performance_cx_lowest="HIGH"       # Use HLT (C0) online
performance_throttle_state="HIGH"  # 100% (no throttling)
economy_cx_lowest="LOW"            # Use the lowest Cx state possible
economy_throttle_state="HIGH"      # 100% (no throttling)
