Timers are sometimes required before the call to initialise(), so we
cannot rely on initialise() to set up the timers before use.
Also fix a potential integer overflow issue in generic_currticks_udelay()
Add missing comments to timer code.
Lock system if no suitable timer source is found.
Fix initialisation order so that timers are initialised before code that
needs to use them.
[Settings] Allow encapsulated options to be specified as named settings
Allow encapsulated options to be specified as e.g. "175.3". As a
side-effect, change the separator character for the type field from "." to
":"; for example, the IP address pseudo-option is now "175.3:ipv4".
[Settings] Add int16, int32 and hex-string configuration setting types
Add parse and display routines for 16-bit and 32-bit integer configuration
settings.
Add parse and display routines for hex-string configuration settings.
Assume hex-string as a configuration setting type if no type is explicitly
specified.
show_setting() and related functions now return an "actual length" in the
style of snprintf(). This is to allow consumers to allocate buffers large
enough to hold the formatted setting.
Replace a printf with a DBG in timer_rtdsc.c
Replace a printf in timer.c with assert
Return proper error codes from timer drivers

Timer subsystem initialization code in core/timer.c
Split the BIOS and RTDSC timer drivers from i386_timer.c
Split arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/bios.c into the RTSDC
timer driver and arch/i386/core/nap.c
Split the headers properly:
include/unistd.h - delay functions to be used by the
gPXE core and drivers.
include/gpxe/timer.h - the fimer subsystem interface
to be used by the timer drivers
and currticks() to be used by
the code gPXE subsystems.
include/latch.h - removed
include/timer.h - scheduled for removal. Some driver
are using currticks, which is
only for core subsystems.

Experimentation reveals that gcc ignores -mrtd for the implicit
arithmetic functions (e.g. __udivdi3), but not for the implicit
memcpy() and memset() functions. Mark the implicit arithmetic
functions with __attribute__((cdecl)) to compensate for this.
(Note: we cannot mark with with __cdecl, because we define __cdecl to
incorporate regparm(0) as well.)
