In the 'pseries' machine the real time clock is provided by a
paravirtualized firmware interface rather than a device per se; the RTAS
get-time-of-day and set-time-of-day calls.
Out current implementations of those work directly off host time (with
an offset), not respecting options such as clock=vm which can be
specified in the -rtc command line option.
This patch reworks the RTAS RTC code to respect those options, primarily
by basing them on the qemu_clock_get_ns(rtc_clock) function instead of
directly on qemu_get_timedate() (which essentially handles host time, not
virtual rtc time).
As a bonus, this means our get-time-of-day function now also returns
nanoseconds.

The virtual RTC time is used in two places in the pseries machine. First
is in the RTAS get-time-of-day function which returns the RTC time to the
guest. Second is in the spapr events code which is used to timestamp
event messages from the hypervisor to the guest.
Currently both call qemu_get_timedate() directly, but we want to change
that so we can properly handle the various -rtc options. In preparation,
create a helper function to return the virtual RTC time.

Currently, the RTAS time of day functions only partially validate the
number of parameters they receive and return. Because of how the
parameters are used, this is unlikely to lead to a crash, but it's messy.
This patch adds the missing checks.

At the moment the RTAS (firmware/hypervisor) time of day functions are
implemented in spapr_rtas.c along with a bunch of other things. Since
we're going to be expanding these a bit, move the RTAS RTC related code
out into new file spapr_rtc.c. Also add its own initialization function,
spapr_rtc_init() called from the main machine init routine.
