Bibo Mao be45144bee target/loongarch: Add timer information dump support
Timer emulation sometimes is problematic especially when vm is running in
kvm mode. This patch adds registers dump support relative with timer
hardware, so that it is easier to find the problems.

- System emulation

  You can reference docs/system/loongarch/loongson3.rst to get the information about system emulation of LoongArch.

- Linux-user emulation

  We already support Linux user emulation. We can use LoongArch cross-tools to build LoongArch executables on X86 machines,
  and We can also use qemu-loongarch64 to run LoongArch executables.

  1. Config cross-tools env.

     see System emulation.

  2. Test tests/tcg/multiarch.

     ./configure  --static  --prefix=/usr  --disable-werror --target-list="loongarch64-linux-user" --enable-debug

     cd build

     make && make check-tcg

  3. Run LoongArch system basic command with loongarch-clfs-system.

     - Config clfs env.

       wget https://github.com/loongson/build-tools/releases/download/2022.05.29/loongarch64-clfs-system-5.0.tar.bz2

       tar -vxf loongarch64-clfs-system-5.0.tar.bz2 -C /opt/clfs

       cp /opt/clfs/lib64/ld-linux-loongarch-lp64d.so.1  /lib64

       export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/clfs/lib64"

     - Run LoongArch system basic command.

       ./qemu-loongarch64  /opt/clfs/usr/bin/bash
       ./qemu-loongarch64  /opt/clfs/usr/bin/ls
       ./qemu-loongarch64  /opt/clfs/usr/bin/pwd
