The armv7m systick timer is a 24-bit decrementing, wrap-on-zero,
clear-on-write counter. Our current implementation has various
bugs and dubious workarounds in it (for instance see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1872237).
We have an implementation of a simple decrementing counter
and we put a lot of effort into making sure it handles the
interesting corner cases (like "spend a cycle at 0 before
reloading") -- ptimer.
Rewrite the systick timer to use a ptimer rather than
a raw QEMU timer.
Unfortunately this is a migration compatibility break,
which will affect all M-profile boards.
Among other bugs, this fixes
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1872237 :
now writes to SYST_CVR when the timer is enabled correctly
do nothing; when the timer is enabled via SYST_CSR.ENABLE,
the ptimer code will (because of POLICY_NO_IMMEDIATE_RELOAD)
arrange that after one timer tick the counter is reloaded
from SYST_RVR and then counts down from there, as the
architecture requires.

Some typedefs and macros are defined after the type check macros.
This makes it difficult to automatically replace their
definitions with OBJECT_DECLARE_TYPE.
Patch generated using:
$ ./scripts/codeconverter/converter.py -i \
--pattern=QOMStructTypedefSplit $(git grep -l '' -- '*.[ch]')
which will split "typdef struct { ... } TypedefName"
declarations.
Followed by:
$ ./scripts/codeconverter/converter.py -i --pattern=MoveSymbols \
$(git grep -l '' -- '*.[ch]')
which will:
- move the typedefs and #defines above the type check macros
- add missing #include "qom/object.h" lines if necessary

The system_clock_scale global is used only by the armv7m systick
device; move the extern declaration to the armv7m_systick.h header,
and expand the comment to explain what it is and that it should
ideally be replaced with a different approach.
