7db0a6cc5f <time.h>: change the new C23 TIME_ constants.
Jens Gustedt suggested a better implementation last year on the musl
mailing list: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2022/11/19/1

It means the constants are sparse, but in return it means we can add
future constants and they'll be backward compatible. (Sadly you'll need
to be on API level 35 before you can use anything but TIME_UTC.)

I doubt this will ever matter, because everyone should just stick to
clock_gettime()/clock_getres() anyway, and anyone who does have a
legitimate use for timespec_get() and timespec_getres() probably needs
to support non-Linux and so can't use any clocks that aren't in ISO C
anyway. But given that we don't _have_ to paint ourselves into a corner
here, we may as well take the opportunity to not do so.

Test: strace

52541eea33 C23: add timespec_getres() and the new TIME_* constants.
Nothing to see here --- you'll want to keep using POSIX clock_gettime()
and clock_getres() instead. But portable code might use this eventually,
and it's trivial, so let's add it anyway.

(The whole "zero as an error return" precluding the direct use of
Linux's CLOCK_ constants is what really makes this a terrible API ---
we're going to have to add explicit translation any time they add a
new base.)
