Disable HPET as OS platform clock

GamingExpert riskReboot requiredReversible

Runs `bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock`, which removes any Windows-side override forcing HPET as the platform timer. Lets the kernel use Invariant TSC, which is what modern (Win10 1909+) Windows uses by default. If your system already has no useplatformclock entry, this is a no-op. Reboot required.
