Implement issue 13433: coarser realtime clock

This adds an option for getting the time using an alternative clock
chosen via core.time.ClockType, including access to a coarser clock as
requested by issue# 13433.

For ClockType.normal, the normal clock which has always been used is
used.

For ClockType.coarse, a faster clock is used if available even if it's
coarser so long as it still has sub-second precision, and the normal
clock is used if no such clock is available.

For ClockType.precise, a more precise clock is used if available
(currently only on FreeBSD), otherwise the normal clock is used.

For ClockType.second, a faster clock is used which only has second
precision. If no such clock is available, then the normal clock is used,
but the result is truncated to second precision.
