Don't instantiate a CLINT if there is none in the device config (#921)

This change makes it possible to faithfully simulate systems which
don't have a CLINT (without adding yet another command line argument
to pass through!).

Without a change like this, lowRISC has been using a local hack in its
Spike fork, where we've just commented out the internals of
clint_t::increment(). This approach is rather cleaner and is hopefully
general enough to use upstream.
