tcg: add kick timer for single-threaded vCPU emulation

Currently we rely on the side effect of the main loop grabbing the
iothread_mutex to give any long running basic block chains a kick to
ensure the next vCPU is scheduled. As this code is being re-factored and
rationalised we now do it explicitly here.
