drm/xe/uapi: Use hint for guc to set GT frequency

Allow user to provide a low latency hint. When set, KMD sends a hint
to GuC which results in special handling for that process. SLPC will
ramp the GT frequency aggressively every time it switches to this
process.

We need to enable the use of SLPC Compute strategy during init, but
it will apply only to processes that set this bit during process
creation.

Improvement with this approach as below:

Before,

:~$ NEOReadDebugKeys=1 EnableDirectSubmission=0 clpeak --kernel-latency
Platform: Intel(R) OpenCL Graphics
  Device: Intel(R) Graphics [0xe20b]
    Driver version  : 24.52.0 (Linux x64)
    Compute units   : 160
    Clock frequency : 2850 MHz
    Kernel launch latency : 283.16 us

After,

:~$ NEOReadDebugKeys=1 EnableDirectSubmission=0 clpeak --kernel-latency
Platform: Intel(R) OpenCL Graphics
  Device: Intel(R) Graphics [0xe20b]
    Driver version  : 24.52.0 (Linux x64)
    Compute units   : 160
    Clock frequency : 2850 MHz

    Kernel launch latency : 63.38 us
