Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM.

The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no
runtime pvops patching needed.

This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen
ticks accounting.

Changes in v3:
- improve commit description and Kconfig help text;
- no need to initialize pv_time_ops;
- add PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING.

Russell,
I made few changes to Kconfig and introduced kernel/paravirt.c, are you
OK with these changes?
