Timers are sometimes required before the call to initialise(), so we
cannot rely on initialise() to set up the timers before use.
Also fix a potential integer overflow issue in generic_currticks_udelay()
Add missing comments to timer code.
Lock system if no suitable timer source is found.
Fix initialisation order so that timers are initialised before code that
needs to use them.
Allow encapsulated options to be specified as e.g. "175.3". As a
side-effect, change the separator character for the type field from "." to
":"; for example, the IP address pseudo-option is now "175.3:ipv4".
Add parse and display routines for 16-bit and 32-bit integer configuration
settings.
Add parse and display routines for hex-string configuration settings.
Assume hex-string as a configuration setting type if no type is explicitly
specified.
show_setting() and related functions now return an "actual length" in the
style of snprintf(). This is to allow consumers to allocate buffers large
enough to hold the formatted setting.
Replace a printf with a DBG in timer_rtdsc.c
Replace a printf in timer.c with assert
Return proper error codes from timer drivers

Timer subsystem initialization code in core/timer.c
Split the BIOS and RTDSC timer drivers from i386_timer.c
Split arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/bios.c into the RTSDC
timer driver and arch/i386/core/nap.c
Split the headers properly:
include/unistd.h - delay functions to be used by the
gPXE core and drivers.
include/gpxe/timer.h - the fimer subsystem interface
to be used by the timer drivers
and currticks() to be used by
the code gPXE subsystems.
include/latch.h - removed
include/timer.h - scheduled for removal. Some driver
are using currticks, which is
only for core subsystems.

Experimentation reveals that gcc ignores -mrtd for the implicit
arithmetic functions (e.g. __udivdi3), but not for the implicit
memcpy() and memset() functions. Mark the implicit arithmetic
functions with __attribute__((cdecl)) to compensate for this.
(Note: we cannot mark with with __cdecl, because we define __cdecl to
incorporate regparm(0) as well.)
