drivers/timer: Unify timeout setting APIs
The existing API had two almost identical functions: _set_time() and _timer_idle_enter(). Both simply instruct the timer driver to set the next timer interrupt expiration appropriately so that the call to z_clock_announce() will be made at the requested number of ticks. On most/all hardware, these should be implementable identically. Unfortunately because they are specified differently, existing drivers have implemented them in parallel. Specify a new, unified, z_clock_set_timeout(). Document it clearly for implementors. And provide a shim layer for legacy drivers that will continue to use the old functions. Note that this patch fixes an existing bug found by inspection: the old call to _set_time() out of z_clock_announce() failed to test for the "wait forever" case in the situation where clock_always_on is true, meaning that a system that reached this point and then never set another timeout would freeze its uptime clock incorrectly.
