Enable host-clock-based RTC

Switch RTC emulations to the new host_clock instead of vm_clock by
default. This has the advantage that the emulated RTC will follow
automatically the host time while it might be tuned via NTP. vm_clock
can still be selected by passing '-rtc clock=vm' on the command line.

Note that some RTC emulations (at least M48T59) already use the host
time unconditionally while others (namely MC146818) do not. This patch
introduces the required infrastructure for selecting the base clock but
only converts MC146818 for now.

Specify @option{base} as @code{utc} or @code{localtime} to let the RTC start at the current
UTC or local time, respectively. @code{localtime} is required for correct date in
MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide @var{date} in the
format @code{2006-06-17T16:01:21} or @code{2006-06-17}. The default base is UTC.
By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows to use the
RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest, specifically if the host
time is smoothly following an accurate external reference clock, e.g. via NTP.
If you want to isolate the guest time from the host, even prevent it from
progressing during suspension, you can set @option{clock} to @code{vm} instead.
Enable @option{driftfix} (i386 targets only) if you experience time drift problems,
specifically with Windows' ACPI HAL. This option will try to figure out how
many timer interrupts were not processed by the Windows guest and will
