Remove configure probe for clock_gettime.

clock_gettime() is in SUSv2 and all targeted Unix systems have it.
Remove a chunk of fallback code for old Unix is no longer reachable on
modern systems, and untested as of the retirement of build farm animal
prairiedog.

There is no need to retain a HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME macro here, because it
is already used in a context with Unix and Windows code paths.
