Add power profiles to Power & Lock

The same Power Saver / Balanced / Performance choice GNOME's Power panel
offers, and the daemon behind it was already running here -- it simply
had no control anywhere in Panama. This machine has been sitting on
"performance" with nothing to say so.

Talks to the net.hadess.PowerProfiles interface rather than to a binary.
Fedora 44 implements it with tuned-ppd instead of power-profiles-daemon,
and powerprofilesctl is not installed at all, so anything shelling out
to that command would have found nothing while the service was right
there. Setting a profile needs no privileges: the daemon accepts a
property write from the active session user.

Not a stored preference. The daemon owns the profile, it survives Panama
restarts, and anything else on the system can change it, so a copy in
settings.json would drift -- the same reasoning as monitor brightness.

PerformanceDegraded is surfaced because it is what makes the setting a
lie: a thermally throttled machine reports "performance" while behaving
otherwise, and that is worth saying out loud.

The contract stubs busctl, because the real daemon is a system service
shared with everything else on the machine and a test that flipped the
daily driver to power-saver and then died would leave it there. It pins
the parsing in particular: busctl renders the Profiles property flat, so
profile names and driver names arrive in one stream, and a pattern loose
enough to match both reports the driver as an extra profile. On this
machine the driver is called "tuned", which reads exactly like a
plausible fourth profile -- verified the contract catches that, and
catches an unvalidated name reaching the system service.

# Runs against a stubbed busctl. The real daemon is a SYSTEM service shared with
# everything else on the machine, and a test that flipped the daily driver into
# power-saver and crashed before restoring would leave it there.
#
# The parsing is the fragile part. busctl renders the Profiles property flat:
#
# v aa{sv} 3 2 "Profile" s "power-saver" "Driver" s "tuned" 2 "Profile" ...
#
# so profile names and driver names sit in the same stream. A pattern loose
# enough to match both reports the driver as an extra profile -- and on this
# machine the driver is literally called "tuned", which reads exactly like a
# plausible fourth profile.
