target/ppc: introduce PMUEventType and PMU overflow timers

This patch starts an IBM Power8+ compatible PMU implementation by adding
the representation of PMU events that we are going to sample,
PMUEventType. This enum represents a Perf event that is being sampled by
a specific counter 'sprn'. Events that aren't available (i.e. no event
was set in MMCR1) will be of type 'PMU_EVENT_INVALID'. Events that are
inactive due to frozen counter bits state are of type
'PMU_EVENT_INACTIVE'. Other types added in this patch are
PMU_EVENT_CYCLES and PMU_EVENT_INSTRUCTIONS.  More types will be added
later on.

Let's also add the required PMU cycle overflow timers. They will be used
to trigger cycle overflows when cycle events are being sampled. This
timer will call cpu_ppc_pmu_timer_cb(), which in turn calls
fire_PMC_interrupt().  Both functions are stubs that will be implemented
later on when EBB support is added.

Two new helper files are created to host this new logic.
cpu_ppc_pmu_init() will init all overflow timers during CPU init time.
