[PATCH v2 07/10] Use clock_gettime to implement timespec_get.


timespec_get is the same function as clock_gettime, with an obnoxious
coating of NIH painted on it by the ISO C committee.  In addition to
the rename, it takes its arguments in a different order, it returns 0
on *failure* or a positive number on *success*, and it requires that
all of its TIME_* constants be positive.  This last means we cannot
directly reuse the existing CLOCK_* constants for it, because
those have been allocated starting with CLOCK_REALTIME = 0 on all
existing platforms.

As such I think the most sensible GNUish policy for this function is
that we will provide it, but we will not recommend its use, we will
not go out of our way to make it efficient, and we will not attempt to
extend the set of TIME_* constants beyond the ones defined in ISO
C (and in POSIX, if it ever appears in POSIX).

This patch simply promotes the sysdeps/posix implementation to
universal, and removes the Linux-specific implementation, whose
apparent reason for existing was to cut out one function call's worth
of overhead.  Oh well.

	* sysdeps/posix/timespec_get.c
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/timespec_get.c: Delete file.
	* time/timespec_get.c: No longer a stub.  Replace implementation
	with the code formerly in sysdeps/posix/timespec_get.c.
