Under certain conditions, e.g. in a KVM guest, a write operation
to /sys/firmware/cpi/set can result in an error message to
stderr while the script returns with a zero exit code, indicating
success.
This can cause confusion if cpictl is called by systemd due to
the existence of a writable /sys/firmware/cpi/. Let's silence
cpictl when writing to the /sys/firmware/cpi/set. This is OK, as
nothing can be inferred from failure or success from the perspective
of the invoking Linux instance.

The information shown with the --help option did not mention the -v or
--version option which can be used to retrieve the version information.
This patch fixes it.

Add a new udev rule that is triggered when a KVM VM is started
on the system the very first time. This rule reports over the
sysfs CPI kernel interface that the system is a KVM host.
Currently the cpi.service systemd unit already works with
the CPI sysfs interface. Introduce a new internal utility
script "cpictl" that is used by both the udev rule and
the systemd unit to guarantee coordinated access to the
kernel CPU interface.
