[PATCH v2] cpupower: Add support for setting EPP via systemd service

[PATCH v2] cpupower: Add support for setting EPP via systemd service

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

Extend the systemd service so that it can be used for tuning the Energy
Performance Preference (EPP) as well. Available options can be read from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_available_preferences.
The desired one can then be set in cpupower-service.conf.
