x86, perfcounters: add support for fixed-function pmcs

Impact: extend performance counter support on x86 Intel CPUs

Modern Intel CPUs have 3 "fixed-function" performance counters, which
count these hardware events:

    Instr_Retired.Any
    CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Core
    CPU_CLK_Unhalted.Ref

Add support for them to the performance counters subsystem.

Their use is transparent to user-space: the counter scheduler is
extended to automatically recognize the cases where a fixed-function
PMC can be utilized instead of a generic PMC. In such cases the
generic PMC is kept available for more counters.

The above fixed-function events map to these generic counter hw events:

        PERF_COUNT_INSTRUCTIONS
        PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES
        PERF_COUNT_BUS_CYCLES

(The 'bus' cycles are in reality often CPU-ish cycles, just with a fixed
 frequency.)
