This adds additional x86 specific CPUID checks for flags needed for determining whether the Time-Stamp Counter (TSC) is usable on a given system, as well as a helper function to retrieve the TSC frequency from CPUID. This is intended for a future patch that will utilize the TSC to lower the overhead of timing instrumentation. In passing, always make pg_cpuid_subleaf reset the variables used for its result, to avoid accidentally using stale results if __get_cpuid_count errors out and the caller doesn't check for it.
