topology: add a new arch_scale_freq_reference

Create a new method to get a unique and fixed max frequency. Currently
cpuinfo.max_freq or last item of performance domain are used as the max
frequency when computing the frequency for a level of utilization but:
- cpuinfo_max_freq can change at runtime. boost is one example of
  such change.
- cpuinfo.max_freq and last item of the PD can be different leading to
  different results betwen cpufreq and energy model.

We need to save the max frequency that has been used when computing the
CPUs capacity and use this fixed and coherent value to convert between
frequency and CPU's capacity.

In fact, we already save the frequency that has been used when computing
the capacity of each CPU. We extend the precision to save khZ instead of
Mhz currently and we modify the type to be aligned with other variables
used when converting frequency to capacity and the other way.
