Public bug reported:

If [libvirt]cpu_power_management is set to true but
[compute]cpu_dedicated_set is empty nova-compute is fails to start with:

This is not a functional bug. But it is a UX bug. I would like to independently 
enable the CPU power management feature from configuring pinned CPU cores even 
if it means the no CPU cores is power managed while cpu_dedicated_set is empty.

Imagine a deployment engine that would like to enable
cpu_power_management automatically by default. But it cannot defined the
list of pinned CPU cores at the same time as that his hypervisor HW
dependent. The current strict validation prevents enabling
cpu_power_management before defining the list of PCPUs.

The actual power management logic can gracefully handle the case when
zero PCPUs are defined simply by managing all the PCPUs i.e. managing no
PCPUs in this case.
