perf counters: implement PERF_COUNT_CPU_CLOCK

Impact: add new perf-counter type

The 'CPU clock' counter counts the amount of CPU clock time that is
elapsing, in nanoseconds. (regardless of how much of it the task is
spending on a CPU executing)

This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available
even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters.
