fuzz: use ITIMER_REAL for timeouts
Using ITIMER_VIRTUAL is a bad idea, if the fuzzer hits a blocking
syscall - e.g. ppoll with a NULL timespec. This causes timeout issues
while fuzzing some block-device code. Fix that by using wall-clock time.
This might cause inputs to timeout sometimes due to scheduling
effects/ambient load, but it is better than bringing the entire fuzzing
process to a halt.
