hw/ptimer: Introduce timer policy feature

Browse source 
Some of the timer devices may behave differently from what ptimer
provides. Introduce ptimer policy feature that allows ptimer users to
change default and wrong timer behaviour, for example to continuously
trigger periodic timer when load value is equal to "0".

/* The default ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the legacy
* timers. Custom policies are adjusting the default one. Consider providing
* a correct policy for your timer.
*
* The rough edges of the default policy:
* - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
* timer without a trigger.
*
* - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
* stops the timer without a trigger.
*
* - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
* is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
* If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
*
* - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
*
* - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
* since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
* counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
