By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the
child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child
process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.

This patch does:

- return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
  perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.

- Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
  architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
  It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
  TEST_SKIP by doing this.

- Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
  Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip
  reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it
  is necessary to extend current test suite definition.
