Add CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE optimization to
the 64-bit and 31-bit vdso.

The code to use the ECTG instruction to calculate the cputime for the
current thread is currently used only for the per-thread CPU-clock
with the clockid -2 (PID=0, VIRT=1). Use the same code for the clockid
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID to speed up the more common clockid as well.

The CLOCK_* defines in asm-offsets.c are only used for the vdso code
however in the meantime they cause other trouble.
Just rename them to get permanently rid of this:

The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user
process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the
kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the
access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that
contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current
cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

Add a vdso to speed up gettimeofday and clock_getres/clock_gettime for
CLOCK_REALTIME/CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
