Documentation: Add documentation about class interface for platform profiles
The class interface allows changing multiple platform profiles on a system
to different values. The semantics of it are similar to the legacy
interface.

8e0cbf3563 Documentation: Add documentation for new platform_profile sysfs attribute
On modern systems the platform performance, temperature, fan and other
hardware related characteristics are often dynamically configurable. The
profile is often automatically adjusted to the load by some
automatic-mechanism (which may very well live outside the kernel).

These auto platform-adjustment mechanisms often can be configured with
one of several 'platform-profiles', with either a bias towards low-power
consumption or towards performance (and higher power consumption and
thermals).

Introduce a new platform_profile sysfs API which offers a generic API for
selecting the performance-profile of these automatic-mechanisms.
