timecounter: keep track of accumulated fractional nanoseconds
The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field that accumulates the low order bits.
