Jeenu Viswambharan 2da8d8bfc0 Add build configuration for timer save/restore
At present, non-secure timer register contents are saved and restored as
part of world switch by BL3-1. This effectively means that the
non-secure timer stops, and non-secure timer interrupts are prevented
from asserting until BL3-1 switches back, introducing latency for
non-secure services. Often, secure world might depend on alternate
sources for secure interrupts (secure timer or platform timer) instead
of non-secure timers, in which case this save and restore is
unnecessary.

This patch introduces a boolean build-time configuration NS_TIMER_SWITCH
to choose whether or not to save and restore non-secure timer registers
upon world switch. The default choice is made not to save and restore
them.

Fixes ARM-software/tf-issues#148
