OvmfPkg/XenPlatformPei: Calibrate APIC timer frequency

Calculate the frequency of the APIC timer that Xen provides.

Even though the frequency is currently hard-coded, it isn't part of
the public ABI that Xen provides and thus may change at any time. OVMF
needs to determine the frequency by an other mean.

Fortunately, Xen provides a way to determines the frequency of the
TSC, so we can use TSC to calibrate the frequency of the APIC timer.
That information is found in the shared_info page which we map and
unmap once done (XenBusDxe is going to map the page somewhere else).

The shared_info page is mapped at the highest physical address allowed
as it doesn't need to be in the RAM, thus there's a call to update the
page table.

The calculated frequency is only logged in this patch, it will be used
in a following patch.
