Store -k clockid frequency into Perf trace to enable timestamps
derived metrics conversion into wall clock time on reporting stage.
Below is the example of perf report output:
tools/perf/perf record -k raw -- ../../matrix/linux/matrix.gcc
...
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 31.222 MB perf.data (818054 samples) ]

Changes in v4:
- addressed compilation issues on 32bit platforms
Changes in v3:
- moved header's clockid_res_ns initialization out of record__init_features()
- added explicit warning for case of failed clock_getres() call
Changes in v2:
- renamed clockid_freq to clockid_res_ns and get_clockid_freq() to
get_clockid_res()
- avoided redundant define of NSEC_IN_SEC, reused linux/time64.h:NSEC_PER_SEC
- moved MHz conversion into print_clockid() and shortened write_clockid()
