KVM: PIT: support mode 4



The in-kernel PIT emulation ignores pending timers if operating under
mode 4, which for example DragonFlyBSD uses (and Plan9 too, apparently).

Mode 4 seems to be similar to one-shot mode, other than the fact that it
starts counting after the next CLK pulse once programmed, while mode 1
starts counting immediately, so add a FIXME to enhance precision.

Fixes sourceforge bug 1952988.
