Use a fraction internally in the _PyTime API to reduce the risk of integer overflow: simplify the fraction using Greatest Common Denominator (GCD). The fraction API is used by time functions: perf_counter(), monotonic() and process_time().
For example, QueryPerformanceFrequency() usually returns 10 MHz on Windows 10 and newer. The fraction SEC_TO_NS / frequency = 1_000_000_000 / 10_000_000 can be simplified to 100 / 1.
Add _PyTimeFraction type.
Add functions:
Remove _PyTime_Init().
Remove _PyRuntimeState.time member.
os.times() now calls _Py_GetTicksPerSecond().
Rename _PyTime_GetClockWithInfo() to py_clock().
