intel_idle: delete power_policy modparam, and choose substate functions

The idea behind power policy was that it would start off as a modparam,
and then hook into the new "global" in-kernel power vs energy tunable.
But that tunable isn't happening, so delete the hook here.

With the policy hook gone, the sub-state choice functions
do not do anything useful, so delete them from the critical path.

To handle sub-states in the future, we will advertise them
with dedicated cpuidle_state entries.  That is necessary
because some of the sub-states will have substantially different
properties than their peer sub-states.
