Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * Dell would like to disable thermald thermal management on Dell
  OptiPlex XE4 for 20.04

   * The reason is that the thermald on focal is too old to support the thermal policy configured in the BIOS
  , it leads the problem in lp:2064083. However, the platform can rely on EC to do the thermal management, so that it can omit the issue if thermald is inactive on the platform.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Install the package on the target OptiPlex XE4 platform, product
  sku 0ACB

   * Run $ systemctl status thermald

   * The status should be inactive

   * Run $ systemctl status thermald on other platforms, the status
  should be as what it was.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The change only takes effect on the target platform, the other
  platforms should work as what it was. If other platforms dmi reports
  the same pattern in sys_vendor and product_sku, the thermald will stop
  working too.

  [ Other Info ]

   * The thermald version after jammy can support the table configured
  in the BIOS correctly, so there is no need to apply the patch to the
  codename >= 22.04.
