RTC: Revert UIE emulation removal

Browse Source 
Uwe pointed out that my alarm based UIE emulation is not sufficient
to replace the older timer/polling based UIE emulation on devices
where there is no alarm irq. This causes rtc devices without alarms
to return -EINVAL to UIE ioctls. The fix is to re-instate the old
timer/polling method for devices without alarm irqs.

This patch reverts the following commits:
042620a018 - Remove UIE emulation
1daeddd596 - Cleanup removed UIE emulation declaration
b5cc8ca1c9 - Remove Kconfig symbol for UIE emulation

The emulation mode will still need to be wired-in with a following
patch before it will work.

Provides an emulation for RTC_UIE if the underlying rtc chip
driver does not expose RTC_UIE ioctls. Those requests generate
once-per-second update interrupts, used for synchronization.
The emulation code will read the time from the hardware
clock several times per second, please enable this option
only if you know that you really need it.
