[FEAT] Turn off P cores for 12th gen and newer #32

Description

@jiriks74

It would be nice to have the ability to turn off the P cores for 12+ gen Intel CPUs. The Linux kernel moves processes to those cores even when using powersave governor.

So far I don't know to what extent this will be saving power but I think that it's worth looking into.

My CPU is: i7-12700H

I'm willing to do some testing to help the development.

Also AFAIK the cores can be turned off with `echo "0" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online" on by one. But so far you have to manually check which is which and turn them off manually.
