lib/vdso: Allow the high resolution parts to be compiled out

If the architecture knows at compile time that there is no VDSO capable clocksource supported it makes sense to optimize the guts of the high resolution parts of the VDSO out at build time. Add a helper function to check whether the VDSO should be high resolution capable and provide a stub which can be overridden by an architecture.
