libpayload/x86: Try to discover invariant TSC rate

We can skip the PIT-based TSC calibration if we can derive the invariant
TSC rate from CPUID/MSR data. This is necessary if the PIT is disabled,
which is the default, for instance, on Coffee Lake CPUs.

This implementation should cover all Intel Core i processors at least.
For older processors, we fall back to the PIT calibration.
