[PATCH] Remove HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN option

This option was created in commit 554b0004d0ec4 ("vtime: Add
HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN Kconfig") for architectures to indicate
they support the 64-bit cputime_t required for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.

The cputime_t type has since been removed, so this doesn't have any
meaning. Remove it.

Hi,

Could we tidy this? I don't know what tree it can go in, timers,
sched, asm-generic, probably doesn't matter.

The only thing this actually does is gate VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and
NO_HZ_FULL so if your arch has some other issue that requires this
then the documentation needs to change. Any concerns from the archs?
I.e., 32-bit that does *not* define HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN
which looks to be:

arc
hexagon
loongarch 32-bit with SMP
m68k
microblaze
mips 32-bit with SMP
nios2
openrisc
parisc 32-bit
riscv 32-bit
sh
sparc 32-bit
um 32-bit
x86 32-bit

Thanks,
Nick
