coreboot: introduce monotonic timer API
The notion of a monotonic timer is introduced. Along with it
are helper functions and other types for comparing times. This
is just the framework where it is the responsibility of the
chipset/board to provide the implementation of timer_monotonic_get().
The reason structs are used instead of native types is to allow
for future changes to the data structure without chaning all the
call sites.
