Add support for timeconting in userland.
This diff exposes parts of clock_gettime(2) and gettimeofday(2) to
userland via libc eliberating processes from the need for a context
switch everytime they want to count the passage of time.
If a timecounter clock can be exposed to userland than it needs to set
its tc_user member to a non-zero value. Tested with one or multiple
counters per architecture.
The timing data is shared through a pointer found in the new ELF
auxiliary vector AUX_openbsd_timekeep containing timehands information
that is frequently updated by the kernel.
Timing differences between the last kernel update and the current time
are adjusted in userland by the tc_get_timecount() function inside the
MD usertc.c file.
This permits a much more responsive environment, quite visible in
browsers, office programs and gaming (apparently one is are able to fly
in Minecraft now).
Tested by robert@, sthen@, naddy@, kmos@, phessler@, and many others!
OK from at least kettenis@, cheloha@, naddy@, sthen@
