arm64: introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT, PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING and pv_time_ops
Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM64.
Necessary duplication of paravirt.h and paravirt.c with ARM.
The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no
runtime pvops patching needed.
This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen
ticks accounting.
