    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.
