Introduces a new tool, `xe_gpu_frequency`, which provides options to get
and set frequencies for Intel Graphics cards using the Xe driver.

Example usages:
$xe_gpu_frequency -g
Opened device: /dev/dri/card0

=====GT0=====
cur: 700 MHz
min: 700 MHz
rpe: 600 MHz
max: 700 MHz

=====GT1=====
cur: 400 MHz
min: 400 MHz
rpe: 400 MHz
max: 400 MHz

$xe_gpu_frequency -s 300 -g
Opened device: /dev/dri/card0

=====GT0=====
cur: 300 MHz
min: 300 MHz
rpe: 600 MHz
max: 300 MHz

=====GT1=====
cur: 300 MHz
min: 300 MHz
rpe: 400 MHz
max: 300 MHz

$xe_gpu_frequency -c gt=0,max=900 -g
Opened device: /dev/dri/card0

=====GT0=====
cur: 300 MHz
min: 300 MHz
rpe: 600 MHz
max: 900 MHz

=====GT1=====
cur: 300 MHz
min: 300 MHz
rpe: 400 MHz
max: 300 MHz
