Documentation: admin-guide: PM: Add cpuidle document
Important information is missing from user/admin cpuidle documentation available today, so add a new user/admin document for cpuidle containing current and comprehensive information to admin-guide and drop the old .txt documents it is replacing.

- Supporting multiple CPU idle levels in kernel
-
- cpuidle
-
-General Information:
-
-Various CPUs today support multiple idle levels that are differentiated
-by varying exit latencies and power consumption during idle.
-cpuidle is a generic in-kernel infrastructure that separates
-idle policy (governor) from idle mechanism (driver) and provides a
-standardized infrastructure to support independent development of
-governors and drivers.
-
-cpuidle resides under drivers/cpuidle.
-
-Boot options:
-"cpuidle_sysfs_switch"
-enables current_governor interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/,
-which can be used to switch governors at run time. This boot option
-is meant for developer testing only. In normal usage, kernel picks the
-best governor based on governor ratings.
