Drop Wi-Fi power save toggling in favor of keeping it off

Browse Source 
The on-battery toggle bought a fraction of a watt while the radio
idled -- twenty-some minutes across a full discharge in the best case
-- and paid for it with 20-300ms latency spikes on idle links and
outright link drops on Intel BE200/BE211 firmware. NetworkManager can
keep power save off natively with one conf.d line, which replaces the
udev rule, the setter script, and any per-card deny-listing.

# Keep Wi-Fi power save off: it trades 20-300ms latency spikes on idle links
# for a fraction of a watt while the radio idles, and broken firmware (Intel
# BE200/BE211) drops the link outright when it naps.
