Ben Gras 27f7fd3554 kernel: high-hz workaround for do_settime
. with hz=1000, clock_t only lasts a few years.
	  whenever we can't express the desired realtime
	  in ticks because the distance with boottime is
	  too high, simply adjust bootime like we do for
	  otherwise negative values.
	. fixes test 2 on ARM

Thomas Cort 15b3d77268 libc: add adjtime() system call.
Implement the adjtime() system call and add a test for it to test69.
Additionally, install the adjtime.2 and clock_*.2 man pages.

Thomas Cort 516fec97d9 libc: add clock_settime() system call.
This also adds the sys_settime() kernel call which allows for the adjusting
of the clock named realtime in the kernel. The existing sys_stime()
function is still needed for a separate job (setting the boottime). The
boottime is set in the readclock driver. The sys_settime() interface is
meant to be flexible and will support both clock_settime() and adjtime()
when adjtime() is implemented later.

settimeofday() was adjusted to use the clock_settime() interface.

One side note discovered during testing: uptime(1) (part of the last(1)),
uses wtmp to determine boottime (not Minix's times(2)). This leads `uptime`
to report odd results when you set the time to a time prior to boottime.
This isn't a new bug introduced by my changes. It's been there for a while.
