Use clock_gettime to implement time.

Change the default implementation of time to call clock_gettime,
to align with new Linux ports that are expected to only implement
__NR_clock_gettime.  Arch-specific implementation that either call
the time vDSO or route to gettimeofday vDSO are not removed.

Also for Linux, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE is used instead of generic
CLOCK_REALTIME clockid.  This takes less CPU time and its behavior
better matches what the current glibc does.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
