---------------------------
config: Rename clock option to Ruby clock

This patch changes the 'clock' option to 'ruby-clock' as it is only
used by Ruby.

Testing Done

All regressions pass

I think there is no need for this ruby clock. Just set it to cpu clock.

Really? I am not sure what the Ruby clock corresponds to in a real system, but if it is interconnect + L2 caches (and beyond) then surely it should not be the CPU clock?

Perhaps I'm missing something about how Ruby treats the clock.

Do we need a more in-depth discussion of what clock domains there should be in a Ruby "system" and what their counterpart is in a real system?

Ruby devs what's your take on this? Is this a good starting point? Perhaps we can break Ruby into multiple clock domains at a later stage.
