[RFC PATCH 2/4] cpuidle: menu: add idle_time to cpuidle_state

Some platforms use separate CPU firmware running in background to
handle state transitions which may need runtime idle time of the
corresponding target state from the kernel.

This patch adds idle_time to cpuidle state to expose to cpuidle driver the
idle time that the governor menu predicts based on next events and states
target residency for selecting proper idle state.

CPU idle driver passes this runtime state idle time to TF-A.
