8d0b2dbf21 Reimplement clock(3) using clock_gettime(3)
Unlike times(), clock_gettime() is implemented as a vDSO on many architectures.
So, using clock_gettime() will return a more accurate time and do so with less
overhead because it does have the overhead of calling into the kernel.

It is also significantly more accurate because it measures the actual time in
nanoseconds rather than the number of ticks (typically 1 millisecond or more).

cccfe1e17c Reimplement clock(3) and switch to OpenBSD time(3).
The new implementation is a better approximation to the processor time used
by the process because it's actually based on resource usage rather than just
elapsed wall clock time.
