Marco Casaroli f0e4f61add arch/arm/rp23xx: Add RTC using the POWMAN always-on timer.
The RP2350 has no dedicated RTC block (the RP2040 one was removed).  Use the
POWMAN always-on timer instead: a 64-bit millisecond counter clocked from the
low-power oscillator, so it keeps running across warm resets.

Enabling CONFIG_RP23XX_RTC selects CONFIG_RTC and builds the driver, which
implements the simple up_rtc_initialize()/up_rtc_time()/up_rtc_settime()
interface backing the system clock (seconds resolution).  up_rtc_initialize()
sources the timer from the low-power oscillator at a 1 kHz tick and starts it,
preserving the value when the timer is already running.  POWMAN register writes
carry the required 0x5afe password.

Document the RTC on the rp23xx platform page: an "RTC" section explaining how
the POWMAN always-on timer is used (LPOSC clocking, the 0x5afe password and the
four 16-bit time registers, stopping the counter to reload it), with reference
links to the RP2350 datasheet Power chapter and the pico-sdk hardware_powman /
pico_aon_timer implementation the driver mirrors.  The same references are
noted in the driver header.
