Changeset: http://git.rtems.org/rtems/commit/?id=65f868cac6f7fd5c3ad02046574c19f8f4673255

Add _CPU_Counter_frequency()

Add rtems_counter_frequency() API function.  Use it to initialize the
counter value converter via the new system initialization step
(RTEMS_SYSINIT_CPU_COUNTER).  This decouples the counter implementation
and the counter converter.  It avoids an unnecessary pull in of the
64-bit integer division from libgcc.

Update #3456.
