armv8: implement workaround for broken CNTFRQ_EL0 value

In devices where the U-Boot is used as a secondary bootloader, we rely
on the device's primary bootloader to implement CNTFRQ_EL0. However,
this reliance may lead to a non-functional timer in broken firmware.

For instance, some versions of Samsung's S-Boot don't implement it. It's
also not possible to set it in the U-Boot, because it's booted in a lower
exception level. CNTFRQ_EL0 is reported to be 0.

Use gd->arch.timer_rate_hz to override the queried value if set. This
setting needs to be done in the board file, preferrably in timer_init().
This feature is present only when the CONFIG_ARMV8_CNTFRQ_BROKEN is
enabled.
