Introduce a new, HVM compatible, paravirtualized timer driver for Xen.

Use this new driver for both PV and HVM instances.

This driver requires a Xen hypervisor that supports vector callbacks,
VCPUOP hypercalls, and reports that it has a "safe PV clock".

sys/dev/xen/timer/timer.c:
	- Register a PV timer device driver which (currently)
	  implements device_{identify,probe,attach} and stubs
	  device_detach.  The detach routine requires functionality
	  not provided by timecounters(4).  The suspend and resume
	  routines need additional work (due to Xen requiring that
	  the hypercalls be executed on the target VCPU), and aren't
	  needed for our purposes.

	- Make sure there can only be one device instance of this
	  driver, and that it only registers one eventtimers(4) and
	  one timecounters(4) device interface.  Make both interfaces
	  use PCPU data as needed.

	- Match, with a few style cleanups & API differences, the
	  Xen versions of the "fetch time" functions.

	- Document the magic scale_delta() better for the i386 version.

	- When registering the event timer, bind a separate event
	  channel for the timer VIRQ to the device's event timer
	  interrupt handler for each active VCPU.  Describe each
	  interrupt as "xen_et:c%d", so they can be identified per
	  CPU in "vmstat -i" or "show intrcnt" in KDB.

	- When scheduling a timer into the hypervisor, try up to
	  60 times if the hypervisor rejects the time as being in
	  the past.  In the common case, this retry shouldn't happen,
	  and if it does, it should only happen once.  This is
	  because the event timer advertises a minimum period of
	  100usec, which is only less than the usual hypercall round
	  trip time about 1 out of every 100 tries.  (Unlike other
	  similar drivers, this one actually checks whether the
	  hypervisor accepted the singleshot timer set hypercall.)

	- Implement a RTC PV clock based on the hypervisor wallclock.

sys/conf/files:
	- Add dev/xen/timer/timer.c if the kernel configuration
	  includes either the XEN or XENHVM options.

sys/conf/files.i386:
sys/i386/include/xen/xen_clock_util.h:
sys/i386/xen/clock.c:
sys/i386/xen/xen_clock_util.c:
sys/i386/xen/mp_machdep.c:
sys/i386/xen/xen_rtc.c:
	- Remove previous PV timer used in i386 XEN PV kernels, the
	  new timer introduced in this change is used instead (so
	  we share the same code between PVHVM and PV).
