The EM now uses the micro-Watts scale for the power values. Update
related documentation to reflect that fact.
Fix also a problematic sentence in the doc "to:" which triggers test
scripts complaining about wrong email address.

Add description about new artificial EM registration and use cases.
Update also the documentation with the new .get_cost() callback
description and usage.

The .active_power() callback passes the device pointer when it's called.
Aligned with a convetion present in other subsystems and pass the 'dev'
as a first argument. It looks more cleaner.
Adjust all affected drivers which implement that API callback.

The new registration method allows to get power values from the DT OPP
definition. The new OPP entry property "opp-microwatt" contains total
power expressed in micro-Watts. Align the EM documentation with this
new possible registration method of EM.

The Energy Model (EM) can be registered in two ways:
1) Using a helper function, which under the hood relies on OPP framework
and DT entry in CPU node: 'dynamic-power-coefficient'. This is
a 'simple' EM because it's tied to the math formula:
Power = dynamic-power-coefficient * V^2 * f
2) Using em_dev_register_perf_domain() API function with a driver
custom callback which provides power for each performance state.
This is 'advanced' EM, since it can better reflect real power
measurements for each performance state. It's not limited to any
math formula and can better reflect real physics of the device.
Add description of these two methods to the documentation, so developers
could choose the suitable registration method (option).

The Energy Model (EM) registration for CPUs should now be done using
a dedicated callback added recently into CPUFreq framework and drivers.
Commit c17495b01b72 ("cpufreq: Add callback to register with energy model")
The callback guaranties that the EM registration is called at the right
time during driver setup. To avoid mistakes update the documentation
to align with the existing code implementation.

Improve the existing documentation of the Energy Model and add kernel-doc
comments. This extends an API description and helps better understanding
the usage.

The Energy Model (EM) can store power values in milli-Watts or in abstract
scale. This might cause issues in the subsystems which use the EM for
estimating the device power, such as:
- mixing of different scales in a subsystem which uses multiple
(cooling) devices (e.g. thermal Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA))
- assuming that energy [milli-Joules] can be derived from the EM power
values which might not be possible since the power scale doesn't have
to be in milli-Watts
To avoid misconfiguration add the requisite documentation to the EM and
related subsystems: EAS and IPA.

Convert the PM documents to ReST, in order to allow them to
build with Sphinx.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
