This adds a new kconfig CONFIG_TIMING_FUNCTIONS_NEED_AT_BOOT so
that the timing subsystem can be initialized at boot, instead of
being #ifdef under thread runtime statistics. This will allow
other part of kernel and other subsystems to utilize the timing
functions.

When there are more timing_stop() calls then timing_start(),
the reference counter will go negative, resulting in the next
timing_start() call not starting the timer. Without timer
running, getting cycles elasped would not work. So fix
the ref counting so it won't dip below zero.
Fixes#30397

We should not be initializing/starting/stoping timing functions
multiple times. So this changes how the timing functions are
structured to allow only one initialization, only start when
stopped, and only stop when started.

Add timing functions and APIs. This is now used with some of the tests
we have for performance and metrics and will be used whereever timing
informations are needed, for example for tracing, profiling and other
operations where timing info is critical.
