native_clock: Wait for less time in EstimateRDTSCFrequency

In my testing, waiting for 200ms provided the same level of precision as the previous implementation when estimating the RDTSC frequency.
This significantly improves the yuzu executable launch times since we reduced the wait time from 3 seconds to 200 milliseconds.
