Description

Follow up to #444

Add support for switching profiles with tlp to the battery power profiles popover.

Battery charge levels (other than charging to full once) might be tougher, AFAIK there’s pretty much only tlp for not-that-many devices, and even then, you configure by writing to the tlp configuration file. Not impossible, but i’d wager it would be less effort to contribute a smoother way of setting it to tlp than doing so.
