lib: timer: Provide a hart based timer feature

As per the RISC-V specification, time value can be obtained from a time
CSR implemented in hardware or a MMIO based IP block. Qemu virt machine
already supports timer csr while CLINT provides the timer for other
platforms.

Implement a hart specific timer feature that can be detected at runtime.
As CSR based timer implementation are faster than MMIO address based, it
is always preferred over MMIO based one.
