platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-gamezone Use max-power rather than balanced-performance

When developing the gamezone WMI drivers, "extreme mode" was matched to
the performance platform profile and "performance" was matched to the
balanced-performance platform profile, but only if extreme mode was
fully supported; otherwise performance was matched to the "performance"
platform profile. This has led to quite a bit of confusion with users
not understanding why the LED color indicating the platform profile
doesn't match their expectations.

To solve this, replace the confusing convention by using the new
max-power profile to represent "extreme mode". While add it, update the
documentation to reflect the expected LED colors in each operating mode.
