Try to use cpufreq-set with user authorization #13

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this extension :).

This patch tries to use gksudo or sudo -A to allow user to switch governor when there is no cpufreq-selector available, e.g., on Ubuntu 13.04.

There is also a part using pkexec, but it does not work currently, because of a problem found elsewhere (i've included TODO comment with explanation). That's why it's commented for now.

I've changed cpuFreqSelectorPath to cpuFreqSelectorCommand, to make it more flexible and usable for different commandlines.

Hope it helps :).

Regards, ahwayakchih
