cpuidle: Default to ladder governor on ticking systems
The menu governor is currently the default on all systems. However the documentation claims that the ladder governor is preferred on ticking systems. So bump the rating of the ladder governor when NO_HZ is disabled, or when booting with nohz=off. This fixes the first half of kernel BZ #65531.
