[PATCH v2 2/2] lib: utils/timer: mtimer: add MIPS P8700 compatible

The MTIMER of the MIPS P8700 is compliant with the ACLINT specification,
so add a compatible string for it.
In a multi-cluster configuration, there is one MTIMER per cluster, each
associated with the HARTS of the cluster. So we do not have a MTIMER
with no associated HARTs to use as our reference.
To be able to select a reference MTIMER in that case, add a quirk to look
up an optional device tree property that indicate which MTIMER to use.
For the MIPS P8700, the property is "mips,reference-mtimer".
