Linux standardized what we call CLOCK_{REALTIME,MONOTONIC}_FAST as
CLOCK_{REALTIME,MONOTONIC}_COARSE. In addition, Linux spells
CLOCK_UPTIME as CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
Add aliases to time.h and document these new aliases in
clock_gettime(2).

There are still references to timed(8) and timedc(8) in the base system,
which were removed in 2018.

Add the CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID clock_id
values to the clock_gettime(2) man page. Reformat the excessively
long paragraph (sentence!) into a tag list.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

(CLOCK_REALTIME case) system calls is non negative.
This commit hides a kernel panic in atrtc_settime() as the clock_ts_to_ct()
does not properly convert negative tv_sec.
ps. in my opinion clock_ts_to_ct() should be rewritten to properly handle
negative tv_sec values.

Depending on system configuration and parameters, clock_gettime() and
gettimeofday() may not be system calls. If so, passing an invalid pointer
will cause a signal and not an [EFAULT] error.
From a standards perspective, this is OK since passing an invalid pointer is
undefined behaviour.

Stop calling system calls "function calls".
Use "The .Fn system call" a-la "The .Nm utility".
When referring to a non-BSD implementation in
the HISTORY section, call syscall a function,
to be safe.
