QA:Testcase Power Management tunedprofiles

Description

This test is probably the most time-consuming. We would like to have tested all tuned daemon profiles. Each profile sets different enviroment values which can influence system consumption. In case you don't want measure them all, please, measure at least the first two profiles.

The test uses BTLK reader test for measurement.

Privileges: normal user (asking for root password when switching profiles)
Runlevel: multiuser (X11)
ETA: 2.5 minutes each profile
