> Step 1: Remove build time checks. SUPPORTS_CLOCK_MONOTONIC is assumed true 
> and removed.
> Step 2: make supports_monotonic_clock always true and so remove checking in 
> OS code
> Step 3: Replace gettimeofday by clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME)
> Step 4: Move shared time functions to os_posix.cpp
> Step 5: Alway link librt on Linux so we don't rely on glibc > 2.17
> 
> Testing: tiers 1-3 for functional testing
>              built and checked (-Xlog:os) on Linux with glibc 2.12 and 2.17,  
> macOS 10.13.6 and 10.15.7
