[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Use event stream scaling when available

With FEAT_ECV and the 1GHz counter, it is pretty likely that the
event stream divider doesn't fit in the field that holds the
divider value (we only have 4 bits to describe counter bits [15:0]
Thankfully, FEAT_ECV also provides a scaling mechanism to switch
the field to cover counter bits [23:8] instead.
Enable this on arm64 when ECV is available (32bit doesn't have
any detection infrastructure and is unlikely to be run on an
ARMv8.6 system anyway).
