The traditional ptimer behaviour includes a collection of weird edge
case behaviours. In 2016 we improved the ptimer implementation to
fix these and generally make the behaviour more flexible, with
ptimers opting in to the new behaviour by passing an appropriate set
of policy flags to ptimer_init(). For backwards-compatibility, we
defined PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT (which sets no flags) to give the old
weird behaviour.
This turns out to be a poor choice of name, because people writing
new devices which use ptimers are misled into thinking that the
default is probably a sensible choice of flags, when in fact it is
almost always not what you want. Rename PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT to
PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY and beef up the comment to more clearly say that
new devices should not be using it.
The code-change part of this commit was produced by
sed -i -e 's/PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT/PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY/g' $(git grep -l PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT)
with the exception of a test name string change in
tests/unit/ptimer-test.c which was added manually.

Switch the digic-timer.c code away from bottom-half based ptimers to
the new transaction-based ptimer API. This just requires adding
begin/commit calls around the various places that modify the ptimer
state, and using the new ptimer_init() function to create the timer.

Currently the ptimer design uses a QEMU bottom-half as its
mechanism for calling back into the device model using the
ptimer when the timer has expired. Unfortunately this design
is fatally flawed, because it means that there is a lag
between the ptimer updating its own state and the device
callback function updating device state, and guest accesses
to device registers between the two can return inconsistent
device state.
We want to replace the bottom-half design with one where
the guest device's callback is called either immediately
(when the ptimer triggers by timeout) or when the device
model code closes a transaction-begin/end section (when the
ptimer triggers because the device model changed the
ptimer's count value or other state). As the first step,
rename ptimer_init() to ptimer_init_with_bh(), to free up
the ptimer_init() name for the new API. We can then convert
all the ptimer users away from ptimer_init_with_bh() before
removing it entirely.
(Commit created with
git grep -l ptimer_init | xargs sed -i -e 's/ptimer_init/ptimer_init_with_bh/'
and three overlong lines folded by hand.)

In my "build everything" tree, changing migration/vmstate.h triggers a
recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
hw/hw.h supposedly includes it for convenience. Several other headers
include it just to get VMStateDescription. The previous commit made
that unnecessary.
Include migration/vmstate.h only where it's still needed. Touching it
now recompiles only some 1600 objects.

Some of the timer devices may behave differently from what ptimer
provides. Introduce ptimer policy feature that allows ptimer users to
change default and wrong timer behaviour, for example to continuously
trigger periodic timer when load value is equal to "0".

After commit 767adce2d, they are redundant. This way we don't assign them
except when needed. Once there, there were lots of cases where the ".fields"
indentation was wrong:
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
and
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
Change all the combinations to:
.fields = (VMStateField[]){
The biggest problem (apart from aesthetics) was that checkpatch complained
when we copy&pasted the code from one place to another.
