Yeah, I think reporting the timestamp width is a good idea since we're
reporting the period/frequency here.

That's doesn't actually work since you can query the 64-bit timestamp value
from the GPU. The way this is handled in Vulkan is that the number of
timestamp bits is reported to the application as a queue property.
