> Changes from previous version:

>   - Do not remove sys/timeb.h, instead mark ftime as deprecated.  The
>     idea is still to remove it eventually on a future release.

> ftime is an obsolete variation on gettimeofday, offering only
> millisecond time resolution; it was probably a system call in ooold
> versions of BSD Unix.  For historic reasons, we had three
> implementations of it.  These are all consolidated into time/ftime.c,
> and then the function is deprecated.
> 
> For some reason, the implementation of ftime in terms of gettimeofday
> was rounding rather than truncating microseconds to milliseconds.  In
> all the other places where we use a higher-resolution time function to
> implement a lower-resolution one, we truncate.  ftime is changed to
> match, just for tidiness' sake.
> 
> Like gettimeofday, ftime tries to report the time zone, and using that
> information is always a bug.  This patch dummies out the reported
> timezone information; the timezone and dstflag fields of the
> returned "struct timeb" will always be zero.
> 
> Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
> powerpc64-linux-gnu, and powerpc-linux-gnu.
