timer: Add Goldfish timer driver

Add support for the Goldfish timer driver. This driver utilizes the
Goldfish RTC hardware to provide a nanosecond-resolution timer. This
virtual device is commonly found in QEMU virtual machines (such as the
m68k virt machine) and Android emulators.

The driver implements the standard U-Boot timer UCLASS interface,
exposing a 64-bit monotonically increasing counter with a 1GHz clock
rate derived from the RTC registers.
