cputime: Generalize CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
S390, ia64 and powerpc all define their own version of CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Generalize the config and its description to a single place to avoid duplication.

+ Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
+ accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
+ kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
