MDEV-19845: Define my_timer_cycles() inline

On clang, use __builtin_readcyclecounter() when available.
Hinted by Sergey Vojtovich. (This may lead to runtime failure
on ARM systems. The hardware should be available on ARMv8 (AArch64),
but access to it may require special privileges.)

We remove support for the proprietary Sun Microsystems compiler,
and rely on clang or the __GNUC__ assembler syntax instead.

For now, we retain support for IA-64 (Itanium) and 32-bit SPARC,
even though those platforms are likely no longer widely used.

We remove support for clock_gettime(CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE),
because Silicon Graphics ceased supporting IRIX in December 2013.
This was the only cycle timer interface available for MIPS.

On PowerPC, we rely on the GCC 4.8 __builtin_ppc_get_timebase()
(or clang __builtin_readcyclecounter()), which should be equivalent
to the old assembler code on both 64-bit and 32-bit targets.

 /**
   A cycle timer.
+
+  On clang, we use __builtin_readcyclecounter().
+  On other compilers:
+
+  On IA-32 and AMD64, we use the RDTSC instruction.
+  On IA-64, we read the ar.itc register.
+  On SPARC, we read the tick register.
+  On POWER, we read the Time Base Register (which is not really a cycle count
+  but a separate counter with less than nanosecond resolution).
+  On IBM S/390 System z we use the STCK instruction.
+  On ARM, we probably should use the Generic Timer, but should figure out
+  how to ensure that it can be accessed.
+
+  Sadly, we have nothing for the Digital Alpha, MIPS, Motorola m68k,
+  HP PA-RISC or other non-mainstream (or obsolete) processors.
+
+  TODO: consider C++11 std::chrono::high_resolution_clock.
+
+  We fall back to gethrtime() where available.
+
+  On the platforms that do not have a CYCLE timer,
+  "wait" events are initialized to use NANOSECOND instead of CYCLE
+  during performance_schema initialization (at the server startup).
+
+  Linux performance monitor (see "man perf_event_open") can
+  provide cycle counter on the platforms that do not have
+  other kinds of cycle counters. But we don't use it so far.
+
+  ARM notes
+  ---------
+  During tests on ARMv7 Debian, perf_even_open() based cycle counter provided
+  too low frequency with too high overhead:
+  MariaDB [performance_schema]> SELECT * FROM performance_timers;
+  +-------------+-----------------+------------------+----------------+

+  | CYCLE       | 689368159       | 1                | 970            |
+  | NANOSECOND  | 1000000000      | 1                | 308            |

+  +-------------+-----------------+------------------+----------------+
+  Therefore, it was decided not to use perf_even_open() on ARM
+  (i.e. go without CYCLE and have "wait" events use NANOSECOND by default).
