x86: Provide tick counter and frequency reference for Intel core architecture

Some u-boot modules rely on availability of get_ticks() and
get_tbclk() functions, reporting a free running clock and its
frequency respectively. Traditionally these functions return number
and frequency of timer interrupts.

Intel's core architecture processors however are known to run the
rdtsc instruction at a constant rate of the so called 'Max Non Turbo
ratio' times the external clock frequency which is 100MHz. This is
just as good for the timer tick functions in question.
