add printk.time option, deprecate 'time'
Allow printk_time to be enabled or disabled at boot time. Previously it
could be enabled only, but not disabled.
Change printk_time from an int to a bool since that's what it is. Make its
logical (exposed) name just be "time" (was "printk_time").
Note: Changes kernel boot option syntax from "time" to "printk.time=value".
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, it can also be
changed at run-time by modifying
/sys/module/printk/parameters/time
to a value of 1/Y/y to enabled it or 0/N/n to disable it.
Since printk_time is declared as a module_param, its value can also
be set at boot-time by using
linux printk.time=<bool>
If the "time" boot option is used, print a message that it is deprecated
and will be removed.
Note its planned removal in feature-removal-schedule.txt.
