The Kconfig logic for selecting the scheduler clocksource on
NXP Vybrid (VF610) uses a `choice` block restricted to 32-bit ARM. This
prevents 64-bit architectures, such as the NXP S32 family, from enabling
the NXP Periodic Interrupt Timer (PIT) driver (CONFIG_NXP_PIT_TIMER).

Relocate the NXP clocksource selection from arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig to
drivers/clocksource/Kconfig. This allows the configuration to be shared
across different architectures.

Update the selection to include support for ARCH_S32 and add a "None"
option to allow using the standard ARM Architected Timer. The Vybrid
Global Timer option is now specifically restricted to 32-bit ARM SOC_VF610
platforms.
