hw/timer/armv7m_systick: Rewrite to use ptimerspull-target-arm-20201027-1

The armv7m systick timer is a 24-bit decrementing, wrap-on-zero,
clear-on-write counter. Our current implementation has various
bugs and dubious workarounds in it (for instance see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1872237).

We have an implementation of a simple decrementing counter
and we put a lot of effort into making sure it handles the
interesting corner cases (like "spend a cycle at 0 before
reloading") -- ptimer.

Rewrite the systick timer to use a ptimer rather than
a raw QEMU timer.

Unfortunately this is a migration compatibility break,
which will affect all M-profile boards.

Among other bugs, this fixes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1872237 :
now writes to SYST_CVR when the timer is enabled correctly
do nothing; when the timer is enabled via SYST_CSR.ENABLE,
the ptimer code will (because of POLICY_NO_IMMEDIATE_RELOAD)
arrange that after one timer tick the counter is reloaded
from SYST_RVR and then counts down from there, as the
architecture requires.
