[clock_time] Add unified clock_time subsystem with documentation

- Created new clock_time subsystem consolidating hwtimer/ktime/cputime
- Implemented clock_time device abstraction with ops structure
- Added high-resolution timer (hrtimer) implementation
- Created compatibility layers for legacy APIs
- Added comprehensive English and Chinese documentation
- Updated Kconfig to mark old subsystems as deprecated

+# Clock Time Device
+
+## Introduction
+
+The `clock_time` subsystem provides a unified framework for time management in RT-Thread, consolidating the functionality of the legacy `hwtimer`, `ktime`, and `cputime` subsystems into a single, coherent API.
+
+### Key Features
+
+- **Clocksource**: Free-running counter for timekeeping and timestamps
+- **Clockevent**: Programmable timeout events for high-precision timing
+- **High-Resolution Timers (hrtimer)**: Efficient timer management with linked-list scheduling
+- **POSIX Clock Support**: Compatible with standard POSIX clock APIs
+- **Boottime Tracking**: Monotonic time since system boot
+- **Backward Compatibility**: Compatibility layers for legacy APIs
+
+### Design Philosophy
+
+The clock_time subsystem follows RT-Thread's C-OOP (Object-Oriented Programming in C) design pattern:
+
+1. **Unified Device Abstraction**: `rt_clock_time_device` encapsulates hardware timer capabilities
+2. **Operations Structure**: `rt_clock_time_ops` defines hardware-specific operations
+3. **Capability Flags**: Explicitly indicates clocksource and clockevent support
+4. **Flexible Integration**: Works with both MCU and MPU platforms
+

+
+## Usage
+
+### Registering a Clock Time Device
+
+BSP drivers should implement the `rt_clock_time_ops` and register a device:
+
+```c
+#include <rtdevice.h>
+
+static rt_uint64_t my_timer_get_freq(void)
+{
+    return 1000000; /* 1MHz timer */
+}
+
+static rt_uint64_t my_timer_get_counter(void)
+{
+    return MY_TIMER->CNT; /* Read hardware counter */
+}
+
+static rt_err_t my_timer_set_timeout(rt_uint64_t delta)
+{
+    if (delta == 0)
+    {
+        /* Cancel timeout */
+        MY_TIMER->CR &= ~TIMER_ENABLE;
+        return RT_EOK;
+    }
+    
+    MY_TIMER->CMP = MY_TIMER->CNT + delta;
+    MY_TIMER->CR |= TIMER_ENABLE | TIMER_INT_ENABLE;
+    return RT_EOK;
+}
+
+static const struct rt_clock_time_ops my_timer_ops =
+{
+    .get_freq = my_timer_get_freq,
+    .get_counter = my_timer_get_counter,
+    .set_timeout = my_timer_set_timeout,
+};
+
+static struct rt_clock_time_device my_clock_device;
+
+int my_timer_init(void)
+{
+    /* Initialize hardware timer */
+    my_clock_device.ops = &my_timer_ops;
+    
+    /* Register with both clocksource and clockevent capabilities */
+    rt_clock_time_device_register(&my_clock_device, 
+                                  "hw_timer",
+                                  RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKSOURCE | 
+                                  RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKEVENT);
+    
+    return 0;
+}
+INIT_DEVICE_EXPORT(my_timer_init);
+
+/* Timer ISR should call rt_clock_hrtimer_process() */
+void MY_TIMER_IRQHandler(void)
+{
+    /* Clear interrupt flag */
+    MY_TIMER->SR = 0;
+    
+    /* Process hrtimer timeouts */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_process();
+}
+```
+
+### Using Clocksource APIs
+
+#### Get Time Information
+
+```c
+/* Get clock resolution (in ns, scaled by RT_CLOCK_TIME_RESMUL) */
+rt_uint64_t res = rt_clock_time_getres();
+
+/* Get clock frequency in Hz */
+rt_uint64_t freq = rt_clock_time_getfreq();
+
+/* Get current counter value */
+rt_uint64_t cnt = rt_clock_time_getcnt();
+```
+
+#### Get Boottime
+
+```c
+struct timespec ts;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_ns(&ts);
+rt_kprintf("Boot time: %d.%09d seconds\n", ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
+
+struct timeval tv;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_us(&tv);
+
+time_t t;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_s(&t);
+```
+
+#### Time Conversion
+
+```c
+rt_uint64_t cnt = 1000000; /* counter ticks */
+
+/* Convert to time units */
+rt_uint64_t ns = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_ns(cnt);
+rt_uint64_t us = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_us(cnt);
+rt_uint64_t ms = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_ms(cnt);
+
+/* Convert from time units */
+cnt = rt_clock_time_ns_to_cnt(1000000); /* 1ms in nanoseconds */
+cnt = rt_clock_time_us_to_cnt(1000);    /* 1ms in microseconds */
+cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(1);       /* 1ms */
+```
+
+### Using High-Resolution Timers
+
+#### Create and Start a Timer
+
+```c
+#include <rtdevice.h>
+
+static void timeout_callback(void *param)
+{
+    rt_kprintf("Timer timeout!\n");
+}
+
+void hrtimer_example(void)
+{
+    struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+    
+    /* Initialize timer */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_init(&timer, "my_timer", 
+                         RT_TIMER_FLAG_ONE_SHOT,
+                         timeout_callback, 
+                         RT_NULL);
+    
+    /* Start timer with 1ms delay */
+    rt_uint64_t delay_cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(1);
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_start(&timer, delay_cnt);
+    
+    /* ... */
+    
+    /* Stop timer if needed */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_stop(&timer);
+    
+    /* Cleanup */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_detach(&timer);
+}
+```
+
+#### Periodic Timer
+
+```c
+static void periodic_callback(void *param)
+{
+    rt_kprintf("Periodic tick\n");
+}
+
+void periodic_timer_example(void)
+{
+    struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+    
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_init(&timer, "periodic", 
+                         RT_TIMER_FLAG_PERIODIC,
+                         periodic_callback, 
+                         RT_NULL);
+    
+    /* Start with 100ms period */
+    rt_uint64_t period_cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(100);
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_start(&timer, period_cnt);
+}
+```
+
+### High-Precision Delays
+
+```c
+/* Delay in nanoseconds */
+rt_clock_ndelay(1000);  /* 1 microsecond */
+
+/* Delay in microseconds */
+rt_clock_udelay(1000);  /* 1 millisecond */
+
+/* Delay in milliseconds */
+rt_clock_mdelay(100);   /* 100 milliseconds */
+
+/* Using a custom timer for delays */
+struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+rt_clock_hrtimer_mdelay(&timer, 50);  /* 50ms delay */
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From ktime
+
+The clock_time subsystem provides direct API compatibility when `RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME` is enabled:
+
+| Old ktime API | New clock_time API |
+|--------------|-------------------|
+| `rt_ktime_boottime_get_ns()` | `rt_clock_time_boottime_ns()` |
+| `rt_ktime_cputimer_getres()` | `rt_clock_time_getres()` |
+| `rt_ktime_cputimer_getcnt()` | `rt_clock_time_getcnt()` |
+| `rt_ktime_hrtimer_init()` | `rt_clock_hrtimer_init()` |
+| `rt_ktime_hrtimer_start()` | `rt_clock_hrtimer_start()` |
+
+### From cputime
+
+When `RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME` is enabled:
+
+| Old cputime API | New clock_time API |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `clock_cpu_gettime()` | `rt_clock_time_getcnt()` |
+| `clock_cpu_getres()` | `rt_clock_time_getres()` |
+| `rt_cputime_sleep()` | `rt_clock_mdelay()` or use hrtimer |
+| `rt_cputime_udelay()` | `rt_clock_udelay()` |
+
+### From hwtimer
+
+Hardware timer devices should be migrated to the new clock_time device model:
+
+**Old hwtimer approach:**
+```c
+static const struct rt_hwtimer_ops my_ops = { ... };
+static struct rt_hwtimer_device my_device;
+my_device.ops = &my_ops;
+rt_device_hwtimer_register(&my_device, "timer0", RT_NULL);
+```
+
+**New clock_time approach:**
+```c
+static const struct rt_clock_time_ops my_ops = { ... };
+static struct rt_clock_time_device my_device;
+my_device.ops = &my_ops;
+rt_clock_time_device_register(&my_device, "timer0",
+    RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKSOURCE | RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKEVENT);
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Kconfig Options
+
+```
+RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME              - Enable clock_time subsystem
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME       - Enable ktime compatibility layer
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME     - Enable cputime compatibility layer
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_HWTIMER     - Enable hwtimer compatibility layer
+```
+
+### Typical Configuration
+
+For new projects:
+```
+CONFIG_RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME=y
+# Compatibility layers not needed
+```
+
+For migrating projects:
+```
+CONFIG_RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_HWTIMER=y
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### For MCU Scenarios
+
+1. **Use SysTick or similar**: For basic timekeeping, SysTick provides adequate resolution
+2. **Hardware timers for precision**: Use dedicated hardware timers for microsecond-level precision
+3. **Consider power**: Minimize timer wakeups in low-power applications
+
+### For MPU Scenarios
+
+1. **Architecture timers**: Use ARM Generic Timer or RISC-V timer for best performance
+2. **SMP safety**: The hrtimer implementation uses spinlocks for SMP systems
+3. **High-frequency sources**: MPUs can handle higher frequency timers (MHz range)
+
+### General Guidelines
+
+1. **Single default device**: Register one primary clock_time device as the system default
+2. **ISR efficiency**: Keep `rt_clock_hrtimer_process()` call in ISR short
+3. **Resolution vs. overhead**: Higher resolution timers have higher overhead
+4. **Fallback support**: The tick-based fallback ensures functionality even without hardware timer

+- Check that ISR calls `rt_clock_hrtimer_process()`
+- Ensure timer interrupt is enabled
+
+### Poor precision
+
+- Verify timer frequency is appropriate for your use case
+- Check for interrupt latency issues
+- Consider using a higher frequency timer
+
+### Compatibility issues
+
+- Enable appropriate compatibility layer in Kconfig
+- Check for API signature changes in migration
+- Verify BSP-specific timer implementation

+
+`clock_time` 子系统为 RT-Thread 提供了统一的时间管理框架，将原有的 `hwtimer`、`ktime` 和 `cputime` 子系统的功能整合到一个一致的 API 中。
+
+### 主要特性
+
+- **时钟源（Clocksource）**：用于计时和时间戳的自由运行计数器
+- **时钟事件（Clockevent）**：可编程超时事件，用于高精度定时
+- **高分辨率定时器（hrtimer）**：采用链表调度的高效定时器管理
+- **POSIX 时钟支持**：与标准 POSIX 时钟 API 兼容
+- **启动时间追踪**：记录系统启动以来的单调时间
+- **向后兼容**：为旧 API 提供兼容层
+
+### 设计理念
+
+clock_time 子系统遵循 RT-Thread 的 C-OOP（C 语言中的面向对象编程）设计模式：
+
+1. **统一设备抽象**：`rt_clock_time_device` 封装硬件定时器能力
+2. **操作结构**：`rt_clock_time_ops` 定义硬件特定操作
+3. **能力标志**：明确指示时钟源和时钟事件支持
+4. **灵活集成**：同时适用于 MCU 和 MPU 平台

+}
+```
+
+### 使用时钟源 API
+
+#### 获取时间信息
+
+```c
+/* 获取时钟分辨率（以纳秒为单位，按 RT_CLOCK_TIME_RESMUL 缩放）*/
+rt_uint64_t res = rt_clock_time_getres();
+
+/* 获取时钟频率（Hz）*/
+rt_uint64_t freq = rt_clock_time_getfreq();
+
+/* 获取当前计数器值 */
+rt_uint64_t cnt = rt_clock_time_getcnt();
+```
+
+#### 获取启动时间
+
+```c
+struct timespec ts;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_ns(&ts);
+rt_kprintf("启动时间: %d.%09d 秒\n", ts.tv_sec, ts.tv_nsec);
+
+struct timeval tv;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_us(&tv);
+
+time_t t;
+rt_clock_time_boottime_s(&t);
+```
+
+#### 时间转换
+
+```c
+rt_uint64_t cnt = 1000000; /* 计数器滴答 */
+
+/* 转换为时间单位 */
+rt_uint64_t ns = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_ns(cnt);
+rt_uint64_t us = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_us(cnt);
+rt_uint64_t ms = rt_clock_time_cnt_to_ms(cnt);
+
+/* 从时间单位转换 */
+cnt = rt_clock_time_ns_to_cnt(1000000); /* 1ms（纳秒）*/
+cnt = rt_clock_time_us_to_cnt(1000);    /* 1ms（微秒）*/
+cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(1);       /* 1ms */
+```
+
+### 使用高分辨率定时器
+
+#### 创建并启动定时器
+
+```c
+#include <rtdevice.h>
+
+static void timeout_callback(void *param)
+{
+    rt_kprintf("定时器超时!\n");
+}
+
+void hrtimer_example(void)
+{
+    struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+    
+    /* 初始化定时器 */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_init(&timer, "my_timer", 
+                         RT_TIMER_FLAG_ONE_SHOT,
+                         timeout_callback, 
+                         RT_NULL);
+    
+    /* 以 1ms 延迟启动定时器 */
+    rt_uint64_t delay_cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(1);
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_start(&timer, delay_cnt);
+    
+    /* ... */
+    
+    /* 如果需要可以停止定时器 */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_stop(&timer);
+    
+    /* 清理 */
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_detach(&timer);
+}
+```
+
+#### 周期定时器
+
+```c
+static void periodic_callback(void *param)
+{
+    rt_kprintf("周期滴答\n");
+}
+
+void periodic_timer_example(void)
+{
+    struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+    
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_init(&timer, "periodic", 
+                         RT_TIMER_FLAG_PERIODIC,
+                         periodic_callback, 
+                         RT_NULL);
+    
+    /* 以 100ms 周期启动 */
+    rt_uint64_t period_cnt = rt_clock_time_ms_to_cnt(100);
+    rt_clock_hrtimer_start(&timer, period_cnt);
+}
+```
+
+### 高精度延时
+
+```c
+/* 纳秒延时 */
+rt_clock_ndelay(1000);  /* 1 微秒 */
+
+/* 微秒延时 */
+rt_clock_udelay(1000);  /* 1 毫秒 */
+
+/* 毫秒延时 */
+rt_clock_mdelay(100);   /* 100 毫秒 */
+
+/* 使用自定义定时器进行延时 */
+struct rt_clock_hrtimer timer;
+rt_clock_hrtimer_mdelay(&timer, 50);  /* 50ms 延时 */
+```
+
+## 迁移指南
+
+### 从 ktime 迁移
+
+当启用 `RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME` 时，clock_time 子系统提供直接的 API 兼容性：
+
+| 旧 ktime API | 新 clock_time API |
+|--------------|-------------------|
+| `rt_ktime_boottime_get_ns()` | `rt_clock_time_boottime_ns()` |
+| `rt_ktime_cputimer_getres()` | `rt_clock_time_getres()` |
+| `rt_ktime_cputimer_getcnt()` | `rt_clock_time_getcnt()` |
+| `rt_ktime_hrtimer_init()` | `rt_clock_hrtimer_init()` |
+| `rt_ktime_hrtimer_start()` | `rt_clock_hrtimer_start()` |
+
+### 从 cputime 迁移
+
+当启用 `RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME` 时：
+
+| 旧 cputime API | 新 clock_time API |
+|----------------|-------------------|
+| `clock_cpu_gettime()` | `rt_clock_time_getcnt()` |
+| `clock_cpu_getres()` | `rt_clock_time_getres()` |
+| `rt_cputime_sleep()` | `rt_clock_mdelay()` 或使用 hrtimer |
+| `rt_cputime_udelay()` | `rt_clock_udelay()` |
+
+### 从 hwtimer 迁移
+
+硬件定时器设备应迁移到新的 clock_time 设备模型：
+
+**旧 hwtimer 方式：**
+```c
+static const struct rt_hwtimer_ops my_ops = { ... };
+static struct rt_hwtimer_device my_device;
+my_device.ops = &my_ops;
+rt_device_hwtimer_register(&my_device, "timer0", RT_NULL);
+```
+
+**新 clock_time 方式：**
+```c
+static const struct rt_clock_time_ops my_ops = { ... };
+static struct rt_clock_time_device my_device;
+my_device.ops = &my_ops;
+rt_clock_time_device_register(&my_device, "timer0",
+    RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKSOURCE | RT_CLOCK_TIME_CAP_CLOCKEVENT);
+```
+
+## 配置
+
+### Kconfig 选项
+
+```
+RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME              - 启用 clock_time 子系统
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME       - 启用 ktime 兼容层
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME     - 启用 cputime 兼容层
+RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_HWTIMER     - 启用 hwtimer 兼容层
+```
+
+### 典型配置
+
+对于新项目：
+```
+CONFIG_RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME=y
+# 不需要兼容层
+```
+
+对于迁移项目：
+```
+CONFIG_RT_USING_CLOCK_TIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_KTIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_CPUTIME=y
+CONFIG_RT_CLOCK_TIME_COMPAT_HWTIMER=y
+```
+
+## 最佳实践
+
+### MCU 场景
+
+1. **使用 SysTick 或类似定时器**：对于基本计时，SysTick 提供足够的分辨率
+2. **硬件定时器提供精度**：使用专用硬件定时器实现微秒级精度
+3. **考虑功耗**：在低功耗应用中最小化定时器唤醒
+
+### MPU 场景
+
+1. **架构定时器**：使用 ARM 通用定时器或 RISC-V 定时器以获得最佳性能
+2. **SMP 安全**：hrtimer 实现使用自旋锁支持 SMP 系统
+3. **高频率源**：MPU 可以处理更高频率的定时器（MHz 范围）
+
+### 通用准则
+
+1. **单一默认设备**：注册一个主要的 clock_time 设备作为系统默认
+2. **中断服务程序效率**：在 ISR 中保持 `rt_clock_hrtimer_process()` 调用简短
+3. **分辨率与开销**：更高分辨率的定时器有更高的开销
+4. **回退支持**：基于滴答的回退确保即使没有硬件定时器也能正常工作
