libpayload: improve us timer accuracy
In cases where timer clock frequency is not an integer number of megahertz, the calculations in timer_us() lack accuracy.
This patch modifies calculations to reduce the error. The maximum interval this calculation would support decreases, but it still is in excess of 1844674 seconds for a timer clocked by 10 MHz, which is more than enough.
BUG=none TEST=manual . verified timer accuracy using a depthcharge CLI command
