Since ACPI 5.0A it is allowed to disable the ACPI Timer, when the
according FADT flag `ACPI_FADT_PLATFORM_CLOCK` is unset.
Starting with Skylake, most platforms (except Xeon-SP) support PM Timer
emulation, so even legacy OSes and payloads should work fine with the
hardware PM Timer disabled. However, when the `TMR_STS` functionality
is required, some legacy OSes might still not work (properly).
Add a note about this to the Kconfig help.
