Fix the computation to allow for cntfrq_el0 being larger than 1GHz.
Assume cntfrq_el0 is a multiple of 1MHz to increase the maximum
interval (1024 seconds at 1GHz).

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Add hp-timing.h using the cntvct_el0 counter. Return timing in nanoseconds
so it is fully compatible with generic hp-timing. Don't set HP_TIMING_INLINE
in the dynamic linker since it adds unnecessary overheads and some ancient
kernels may not handle emulating cntcvt correctly. Currently cntvct_el0 is
only used for timing in the benchtests.
