Subject: [PATCH 2/8] additions to src/time
This adds two functions, thrd_sleep and timespec_get. Both have easy
functional equivalences in POSIX, but these have subtle differences in
the handling of errors.
thrd_sleep forces concrete numerical values as error return
timespec_get has a call interface that is incompatible with POSIX because
it has a bogus coding for its clock constants, and also this clock
constants must be returned in case of success. For the moment we only
implement one single clock, TIME_UTC, and map this to
CLOCK_REALTIME. This is the clock that we later need to measure time for
the timedlock and timedwait.
Also, other than for clock_gettime, C doesn't specify touching errno for
timespec_get. Because CLOCK_REALTIME can be obtained very efficiently
through VDSO and messing with errno is clearly the wrong step to go, we
try to avoid this.
