Use cpupower instead of cpufreq

cpufrequtils is an unmaintained project. cpupower is a drop-in replacement.

I attached a simple patch from Fedora.
Comment 1 Jeremy Bicha 2013-05-20 14:43:00 UTC 
I don't think cpupower has been packaged for Debian/Ubuntu yet…
Comment 2 Philipp 2013-09-30 17:03:44 UTC 
Hi György,
as Jeremy wrote, cpupower is not widely packaged yet.
Could you change the patch to select between the two with a configure option ?
Comment 3 Alberts Muktupāvels 2014-11-05 16:44:45 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Use --with-cpufreq-lib=cpupower, default is not changed!
