the new CpusAccel interface isn't used,

The cpu_get_ticks() function is changed to mean getting the actual cpu ticks,
while cpus_get_elapsed_ticks() contains the code that special cases icount and 
qtest,
until the respective CpusAccel enablement patches.

these are needed for non softmmu builds by hw/core/cpu.c
and by gdbstub.c,
but actually we could get away with just _state() and _post_init(). Will remove 
the others.

util/timer.c needs it for non-softmmu builds (see previous discussion with 
Paolo).
