cpufreq: Introduce CPUFREQ_GOV_STRICT_TARGET

Introduce a new governor flag, CPUFREQ_GOV_STRICT_TARGET, for the
governors that want the target frequency to be set exactly to the
given value without leaving any room for adjustments on the hardware
side and set this flag for the powersave and performance governors.
