SCHED_ISO is not supported by upstream kernels, so don't try to use this by
default since for most users it will result in an error log that trying to
set the scheduling policy fails.
Without extra system configuration, we will also not have permission to renice
processes by default, so out of the box doing this will fail as well.
Users that wish to use these features can enable them from the config once
they have configured their system appropriately.
This also fixes the instances in testing where we don't have the nv overclock in use, but we do have the mode set
Solves issues explaining the what the perf_level actually meant, and future proofs for any PR that wants to set individual perf levels
This covers the MVP for now, and simply allows pinning the power level to "high"
Full overclocking set up is somewhat more complicated, and it'll be better to implement that at the same time as the same for Nvidia, where we're currently only really setting the top end power level
This allows direct control over who can make requests on behalf of other processes
require_supervisor can also be used to allow a supervisor to take direct control of gamemode on the system (perhaps a GUI, or game launcher)
This commit adds configuration support for the renice value and amends
documentation and examples. This commit by itself does nothing, the
following commit is needed to actually apply the new settings.

This adds support for a new configuration option "softrealtime" to be
read from the general section. This commit alone does nothing, the
following commit adds actually making use of the value.

Checks for a gamemode.ini in /usr/share/gamemode/ (or in the cwd for debugging)
Currently allows for blacklisting and whitelisting clients based on rudimentary needle-haystack executable name checks
See the example/gamemode.ini file for expected syntax
