dt-bindings: vcpu_stall_detector: Add qemu,vcpu-stall-detector compatible
The VCPU stall detection mechanism allows to configure the expiration duration and the internal counter clock frequency measured in Hz. Add these properties in the schema. While this is a memory mapped virtual device, it is expected to be loaded when the DT contains the compatible: "qemu,vcpu-stall-detector" node. In a protected VM we trust the generated DT nodes and we don't rely on the host to present the hardware peripherals.
