timecounter: Merge FreeBSD change r286701
If a specific timecounter has been chosen via sysctl, and a new timecounter with higher quality registers (presumably in a module that has just been loaded), do not undo the user's choice by switching to the new timecounter.
Document that behavior, and also the fact that there is no way to unregister
a timecounter (and thus no way to unload a module containing one).
Update #3175.
