counter: i8254: Introduce the Intel 8254 interface library module

Browse source 
Exposes consumer library functions providing support for interfaces
compatible with the venerable Intel 8254 Programmable Interval Timer
(PIT).

The Intel 8254 PIT first appeared in the early 1980s and was used
initially in IBM PC compatibles. The popularity of the original Intel
825x family of chips led to many subsequent variants and clones of the
interface in various chips and integrated circuits. Although still
popular, interfaces compatible with the Intel 8254 PIT are nowdays
typically found embedded in larger VLSI processing chips and FPGA
components rather than as discrete ICs.

A CONFIG_I8254 Kconfig option is introduced by this patch. Modules
wanting access to these i8254 library functions should select this
Kconfig option, and import the I8254 symbol namespace.
