Star Zeng a012df5ec6 PcAtChipsetPkg AcpiTimerLib: Wait 363 ACPI timer counts to get TSC Freq
Compute the number of ticks to wait to measure TSC frequency.
Instead of (ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY / 10000) = 357 and 357 * 10000 = 3570000,
use 363 * 9861 = 3579543 Hz which is within 2 Hz of ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY.
363 counts is a calibration time of 101.4 uS.

The idea comes from Michael and Paolo.

Calculate TSC frequency.
The TSC counting frequency is determined by comparing how far it counts
during a 101.4 us period as determined by the ACPI timer.
The ACPI timer is used because it counts at a known frequency.
The TSC is sampled, followed by waiting 363 counts of the ACPI timer,
or 101.4 us. The TSC is then sampled again. The difference multiplied by
9861 is the TSC frequency. There will be a small error because of the
overhead of reading the ACPI timer. An attempt is made to determine and
compensate for this error.
@return The number of TSC counts per second.
