[PATCH v2 1/3] ARM64: lib64: pbl: implement get_time_ns and is_timeout

All ARMv8-A cores implement the 64bit wide generic timer CNTPCT[1], thus
we can use it to implement the get_time_ns and is_timeout helpers which
in turn enable the whole read_poll_timeout class of functions in the
PBL. As it is guaranteed that the timer will not wrap for 40 years no
overflow handling is necessary.

(rev L.a)", chapter D12 "The Generic Timer in AArch64 state"
