[CPUFREQ] expose cpufreq coordination requirements regardless of coor…

…dination mechanism

Currently, affected_cpus shows which CPUs need to have their frequency
coordinated in software.  When hardware coordination is in use, the contents
of this file appear the same as when no coordination is required.  This can
lead to some confusion among user-space programs, for example, that do not
know that extra coordination is required to force a CPU core to a particular
speed to control power consumption.

To fix this, create a "related_cpus" attribute that always displays the
coordination map regardless of whatever coordination strategy the cpufreq
driver uses (sw or hw).  If the cpufreq driver does not provide a value, fall
back to policy->cpus.
