ACPI: CPPC: add APIs and sysfs interface for perf_limited

Add sysfs interface to read/write the Performance Limited register.

The Performance Limited register indicates to the OS that an
unpredictable event (like thermal throttling) has limited processor
performance. It contains two sticky bits set by the platform:
  - Bit 0 (Desired_Excursion): Set when delivered performance is
    constrained below desired performance. Not used when Autonomous
    Selection is enabled.
  - Bit 1 (Minimum_Excursion): Set when delivered performance is
    constrained below minimum performance.

These bits remain set until OSPM explicitly clears them. The write
operation accepts a bitmask of bits to clear:
  - Write 0x1 to clear bit 0
  - Write 0x2 to clear bit 1
  - Write 0x3 to clear both bits

This enables users to detect if platform throttling impacted a workload.
Users clear the register before execution, run the workload, then check
afterward - if set, hardware throttling occurred during that time window.

The interface is exposed as:
  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/perf_limited
