cputime: Generalize CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
S390, ia64 and powerpc all define their own version
of CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Generalize the config
and its description to a single place to avoid
duplication.

+ Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
+ accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
+ kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
+ between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
+ small performance impact. In the case of s390 or IBM POWER > 5,
+ this also enables accounting of stolen time on logically-partitioned
+ systems.
