ACPI / processor_idle: introduce ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE

ACPI 6.0 adds a new method to specify the CPU idle states(C-states)
called Low Power Idle(LPI) states. Since new architectures like ARM64
use only LPIs, introduce ACPI_PROCESSOR_CSTATE to encapsulate all the
code supporting the old style C-states(_CST).

This patch will help to extend the processor_idle module to support
LPI.
