perf jit: Add support for using TSC as a timestamp

Intel PT uses TSC as a timestamp, so add support for using TSC instead
of the monotonic clock. Use of TSC is selected by an environment
variable "JITDUMP_USE_ARCH_TIMESTAMP" and flagged in the jitdump file
with flag JITDUMP_FLAGS_ARCH_TIMESTAMP.

[ Added the fixup from He Kuang to make it build on other arches, ]
[ such as aarch64, to avoid inserting this bisectiong breakage upstream ]
