timer: Provide an early timer
In some cases the timer must be accessible before driver model is active.
Examples include when using CONFIG_TRACE to trace U-Boot's execution before
driver model is set up. Enable this option to use an early timer. These
functions must be supported by your timer driver: timer_early_get_count()
and timer_early_get_rate().
