erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter function
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer
that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have
monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous
time.
A special instruction has been created for this counter to further
speed up fetching it.
