bootloader: Implement TSC calibration via hypervisor CPUID leaf.

While debugging some problems on the HaikuPorts build VMs, mmlr
noticed their clocks had an alarming amount of drift. This prompted
an investigation into TSC calibration mechanisms, and the discovery
that there is a VM-specific one which we did not implement.

This mechanism is more accurate than counting cycles on VMs where
cycles can be "stolen" (the probable cause of the aforementioned
clock drift.)

Tested in VMware (works out of the box) and on QEMU/KVM
(may need TSC frequency specified or a host with invariant TSC.)

# d2986cb6 21-Feb-2020 Alexander von Gluck IV <kallisti5@unixzen.com>

system/boot: More cleanup and shuffling

* arm efi additions
* cleanup some cpu headers which were oddly
split between efi and bios_ia32
* Move calculate_cpu_conversion_factor over to
arch_timer since it is timerish, and x86 only
* Drop some duplicated code from efi start. Move
hpet init code into efi timer/hpet code

kernel/boot/efi: Continue breaking apart arch-specific code; hpet

* Move x86 hpet behind timer interface.
* Add a few if x86,x86_64 macros to start.cpp.
