man9: add hz(9) and hardclock(9)

Description

man9: add hz(9) and hardclock(9)

Document aspects of system time keeping. Hz is the nominal rate that we
interrupt the system and is known and the 'tick' period of 1 / hz.
hardclock is the routine that does various bits of timekeeping. stathz
and profhz are documented as historical relics that are deprecated
and replaced by hwpmc.4 and others.
