The stellaris-gptm timer currently uses system_clock_scale for one of
its timer modes where the timer runs at the CPU clock rate. Make it
use a Clock input instead.
We don't try to make the timer handle changes in the clock frequency
while the downcounter is running. This is not a change in behaviour
from the previous system_clock_scale implementation -- we will pick
up the new frequency only when the downcounter hits zero. Handling
dynamic clock changes when the counter is running would require state
that the current gptm implementation doesn't have.

The implementation of the Stellaris general purpose timer module
device stellaris-gptm is currently in the same source file as the
board model. Split it out into its own source file in hw/timer.
Apart from the new file comment headers and the Kconfig and
meson.build changes, this is just code movement.
