dev, arm: Make GenericTimer param handling more robust
The generic timer needs a pointer to an ArmSystem to wire itself to the system register handler. This was previously specified as an instance of System that was later cast to ArmSystem. Make this more robust by specifying it as an ArmSystem in the Python interface and add a check to make sure that it is non-NULL.
