Kernel: Add some CPU feature flags related to TSC

Browse source 
In case we want to rely more on TSC in time keeping in the future, idk

This adds:

- RDTSCP, for when the RDTSCP instruction is available

- CONSTANT_TSC, for when the TSC has a constant frequency, invariant
  under things like the CPU boosting its frequency.

- NONSTOP_TSC, for when the TSC doesn't pause when the CPU enters
  sleep states.

AMD cpus and newer intel cpus set the INVSTC bit (bit 8 in edx of
extended cpuid 0x8000000008), which implies both CONSTANT_TSC and
NONSTOP_TSC. Some older intel processors have CONSTANT_TSC but not
NONSTOP_TSC; this is set based on cpu model checks.

There isn't a ton of documentation on this, so this follows Linux
terminology and http://blog.tinola.com/?e=54

CONSTANT_TSC:
39b3a79105

NONSTOP_TSC:
40fb17152c

qemu disables invtsc (bit 8 in edx of extended cpuid 0x8000000008)
by default even if the host cpu supports it. It can be enabled by
running with `SERENITY_QEMU_CPU=host,migratable=off` set.
