Report ARAT (APIC-Timer-always-running) feature for virtual CPU.
This makes FreeBSD guest to not avoid using LAPIC timer, preferring HPET
due to worries about non-existing for virtual CPUs deep sleep states.
Benchmarks of usleep(1) on guest and host show such extra latencies:
- 51us for virtual HPET,
- 22us for virtual LAPIC timer,
- 22us for host HPET and
- 3us for host LAPIC timer.
