Originally I believed I needed the .o files to make the bindings. The
linking failed due to a missing .so link in Fedora or by using make
install-lib from the cpupower directory. Amend the makefile and the
README.
Big thanks to Wander Lairson Costa <wander@redhat.com> for the help.

"tools/cpupower: display residency value in idle-info" added a new
function to cpuidle.h. This patch adds them to the bindings.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20240809083728.266697-1-aboorvad@linux.ibm.com/
Tested by compiling both libcpupower and the headers; running the test
script that does not use the functions as a basic sanity test.

Installs the .so and .py files generated by SWIG to system's site packages
directory. This allows the Python bindings to be used system wide. This
commit also includes documentation on setting up and installing the Python
bindings.

This commit fixes a bad comment, removes an unneeded code block, and
catches a few more states that cpuidle_state_disable with the test
script. Part of the motivation for this commit was I kept forgetting to
use sudo.

Add SPDX identifier to the gitignore. Remove the comment and .i file
since the file it references was removed in another patch. This patch
depends on Min-Hua Chen's 'pm: cpupower: rename raw_pylibcpupower.i'.

The raw_pylibcpupower.i is removed unexpectedly after 'make mrproper'
We can reproduce the error by performing the following steps:
cd linux-next
make mrproper
cd tools/power/cpupower/bindings/python
make
We will get an error message:
make: *** No rule to make target 'raw_pylibcpupower.i', needed by 'raw_pylibcpupower_wrap.c'. Stop.
The root cause:
The *.i files are already used for pre-processor output files and
the kernel removes all the *.i files by 'make mrproper'.
That explains why the raw_pylibcpupower.i is removed by 'make mrproper'.
To fix it, Follow John's suggestion to rename raw_pylibcpupower.i to
raw_pylibcpupower.swg.

Add error message to better explain to the user when SWIG and
python-config is missing from the path. Makefile was cleaned up
and unneeded elements were removed.

This script demonstrates how to make use of, and tests, the bindings.
In the future, this script could become part of a larger test suite to
test the bindings and libcpupower.

SWIG is a tool packaged in Fedora and other distros that can generate
bindings from C and C++ code for several languages including Python,
Perl, and Go.
These bindings allows users to easily write scripts that use and extend
libcpupower's functionality. Currently, only Python is provided in the
makefile, but additional languages may be added if there is demand.
Added suggestions from Shuah Khan for the README and license discussion.
Note that while SWIG itself is GPL v3+ licensed; the resulting output,
the bindings code, is permissively licensed + the license of the .o
files. Please see
https://swig.org/legal.html and [1] for more details.
