The timing infrastructure (INSTR_* macros) measures time elapsed using clock_gettime() on POSIX systems, which returns the time as nanoseconds, and QueryPerformanceCounter() on Windows, which is a specialized timing clock source that returns a tick counter that needs to be converted to nanoseconds using the result of QueryPerformanceFrequency(). This conversion currently happens ad-hoc on Windows, e.g. when calling INSTR_TIME_GET_NANOSEC, which calls QueryPerformanceFrequency() on every invocation, despite the frequency being stable after program start, incurring unnecessary overhead. It also causes a fractured implementation where macros are defined differently between platforms. To ease code readability, and prepare for a future change that intends to use a ticks-to-nanosecond conversion on x86-64 for TSC use, introduce new pg_ticks_to_ns() / pg_ns_to_ticks() functions that get called from INSTR_* macros on all platforms. These functions rely on a separately initialized ticks_per_ns_scaled value, that represents the conversion ratio. This value is initialized from QueryPerformanceFrequency() on Windows, and set to zero on x86-64 POSIX systems, which results in the ticks being treated as nanoseconds. Other architectures always directly return the original ticks. To support this, pg_initialize_timing() is introduced, and is now mandatory for both the backend and any frontend programs to call before utilizing INSTR_* macros. In passing, fix variable names in comment documenting INSTR_TIME_ADD_NANOSEC().
