sched/tune: add detailed documentation

The topic of a single simple power-performance tunable, that is wholly
scheduler centric, and has well defined and predictable properties has
come up on several occasions in the past. With techniques such as a
scheduler driven DVFS, we now have a good framework for implementing
such a tunable.

This patch provides a detailed description of the motivations and design
decisions behind the implementation of the SchedTune.
