cpufreq: add option for setting the cpu max and min frequencies

This adds a NixOS option for setting the CPU max and min frequencies
with `cpufreq`.  The two options that have been added are:

- `powerManagement.cpufreq.max`
- `powerManagement.cpufreq.min`

It also adds an alias to the `powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor` option as
`powerManagement.cpufreq.governor`.  This updates the installer to use
the new option name.  It also updates the manual with a note about
the new name.

The <option>powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor</option> option has been
aliased to <option>powerManagement.cpufreq.governor</option>. On laptops,
<option>powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor</option> is sometimes set in
<literal>/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix</literal>, so you can
rename it to the new name, or run
<literal>nixos-generate-config</literal> again.
