icount: implement a new icount_sleep mode toggleing real-time cpu sleep

Browse source 
When the icount_sleep mode is disabled, the QEMU_VIRTUAL_CLOCK runs at the
maximum possible speed by warping the sleep times of the virtual cpu to the
soonest clock deadline. The virtual clock will be updated only according
the instruction counter.
