idle: Implement generic idle function

All idle functions in arch/* are more or less the same, plus minus a
few bugs and extra instrumentation, tickless support and other
optional items.

Implement a generic idle function which resembles the functionality
found in arch/. Provide weak arch_cpu_idle_* functions which can be
overridden by the architecture code if needed.
