plan9.ini: add *notsc= option to disable use of TSC as righ resolution clock
we previously used tsc only on cpu kernel. now that we use it on terminal kernel too, there might be some surprises ahead. so make it possible to disable tsc for machines where the tsc rate is not kept constant across cores or is dynamically adjusted by power management.
