dev: Make default clock more reasonable for system and devices

This patch changes the default system clock from 1THz to 1GHz. This
clock is used by all modules that do not override the default (parent
clock), and primarily affects the IO subsystem. Every DMA device uses
its clock to schedule the next transfer, and the change will thus
cause this inter-transfer delay to be longer.

The default clock of the bus is removed, as the clock inherited from
the system provides exactly the same value.

A follow-on patch will bump the stats.
