e5174365c1 cpupower: do not install files to /etc/default/
Improve the installation procedure for the systemd service unit
'cpupower.service', to be more distro-agnostic. Do not install the
service unit configuration file to /etc/default/ (a directory that
is used by Debian and Debian-derivatives and only rarely by other
distros).

Also, clarify the role of the configuration file in its own comments.

9c70b779ad cpupower: add a systemd service to run cpupower
One of the most typical use cases of the 'cpupower' utility works as
follows: run 'cpupower' at boot with the desired command-line options
and then forget about it.

Add a systemd service (disabled by default) that automates this use
case (for environments where the initialization system is 'systemd'),
by running 'cpupower' at boot with the settings read from a default
configuration file.

The systemd service, the associated support script and the
corresponding default configuration file are derived from what is
provided by the Arch Linux package (under "GPL-2.0-or-later" terms),
modernized and enhanced in various ways (the script has also been
checked with 'shellcheck').
