Tuning Disk Performance

This commit is a part of the solution to mitigate a known issue that
the Advanced Power Management (APM) disk settings impacted read
performance. These settings are dynamically set based on the enabled
StarlingX tuned service profiles.

On some specific hardware configurations  (for example, PowerEdge XR11
with an integrated storage controller), degraded read performance was
observed where the Tuned Disk Monitor didn't detect high usage,
maintaining a limited and low APM level (default 20).
For write operations, a delay of about 60 seconds was noticed to
achive the highest disk performance.

Each unlocking will ensure the APM is disabled, but it can still be set
manually at runtime using: "sudo hdparm -B <apm_level> /dev/sda".

New parameters:
- dynamic=0, to disable the Tuned Disk Monitor.
- apm=255, to disable APM.
- devices_udev_regex, to select devices to disable APM.

Updated parameters:
- alpm=max_performance.

Test Plan:
  PASS: All packages built successfully
  PASS: Fresh Install SX/DX/STD in virtual environments
  PASS: After unlocking, verify that APM and Tuned Disk Monitor
        are disabled
  PASS: After unlocking, verify that /etc/tuned/starlingx/tuned.conf
        is populated with the selected devices
  PASS: All previous tests using XR11 lab
  PASS: After the initial unlock, the virtual host is locked,
        powered off, a disk is added, powered on, and after a new
        unlock, the new disk is added to devices_udev_regex.
