perf record: Encode -k clockid frequency into Perf trace

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) ]

  tools/perf/perf report --header
  # ========
  ...
  # event : name = cycles:ppp, , size = 112, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 4000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled = 1, inherit = 1, mmap = 1, comm = 1, freq = 1, enable_on_exec = 1, task = 1, precise_ip = 3, sample_id_all = 1, exclude_guest = 1, mmap2 = 1, comm_exec = 1, use_clockid = 1, clockid = 4
  ...
  # clockid frequency: 1000 MHz
  ...
