Re-introduce `SetClockFrequency` operation (originally in !539) (QAE-786)

Edgar Reehuis requested to merge restore-set-clock-freq into main

Explanation of changes

Re-introduce SetClockFrequency operation (originally introduced in !539 (merged)) and add compilation support in the Qblox backend (sets the frequency of the NCO via set_freq Q1ASM command), now adhering to clock = LO + IF.

Motivation of changes

The duration of the SetClockFrequency operation depends on the backend that compiles it, hence we need to set the duration depending on the backend.
