sched: Default enable HRTICK when deferred rearming is enabled

The deferred rearm of the clock event device after an interrupt and and
other hrtimer optimizations allow now to enable HRTICK for generic entry
architectures.

This decouples preemption from CONFIG_HZ, leaving only the periodic
load-balancer and various accounting things relying on the tick.
