x86: Move APIC clock divider to Python

This patch moves the 16x APIC clock divider to the Python code to
avoid the post-instantiation modifications to the clock. The x86 APIC
was the only object setting the clock after creation time and this
required some custom functionality and configuration. With this patch,
the clock multiplier is moved to the Python code and the objects are
instantiated with the appropriate clock.
