timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock
The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active non-suspended time of a system. Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime(). This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification. This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.
