cputime: Generalize CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING

S390, ia64 and powerpc all define their own version
of CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Generalize the config
and its description to a single place to avoid
duplication.

Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
small performance impact. In the case of s390 or IBM POWER > 5,
this also enables accounting of stolen time on logically-partitioned
systems.
