parport: add support for the jtag_khz command.

Add the khz and speed_div functions to the parport interface driver.
Add the parport_toggling_time function that tells the parport driver
how long (in nanoseconds) it takes for the hardware to toggle TCK.

@deffn Command {parport_toggling_time} [nanoseconds]
Displays how many nanoseconds the hardware needs to toggle TCK;
the parport driver uses this value to obey the
@command{jtag_khz} configuration.
When the optional @var{nanoseconds} parameter is given,
that setting is changed before displaying the current value.
The default setting should work reasonably well on commodity PC hardware.
However, you may want to calibrate for your specific hardware.
@quotation Tip
To measure the toggling time with a logic analyzer or a digital storage
oscilloscope, follow the procedure below:
@example
> parport_toggling_time 1000
> jtag_khz 500
@end example
This sets the maximum JTAG clock speed of the hardware, but
the actual speed probably deviates from the requested 500 kHz.
Now, measure the time between the two closest spaced TCK transitions.
You can use @command{runtest 1000} or something similar to generate a
large set of samples.
Update the setting to match your measurement:
@example
> parport_toggling_time <measured nanoseconds>
@end example
Now the clock speed will be a better match for @command{jtag_khz rate}
commands given in OpenOCD scripts and event handlers.
You can do something similar with many digital multimeters, but note
that you'll probably need to run the clock continuously for several
seconds before it decides what clock rate to show. Adjust the
toggling time up or down until the measured clock rate is a good
match for the jtag_khz rate you specified; be conservative.

This will configure the parallel driver to write a known
cable-specific value to the parallel interface on exiting OpenOCD
