        src/lib/libc/sys: timer_settime.2

Log Message:
Spell the number of nanoseconds as 10^9.

10^9 is 1e9 (it's "e" that spells 10 here), not 10e9.  The target
audience of this man page is not likely to be very fluent in floating
point, so avoid significand/exponent spelling and use the spelling
that it is familiar with.
