The pthread_mutex_clocklock function is available in glibc since the
2.30 release. If this function is available in the C library it can be
used to fix PR libstdc++/78237 by supporting steady_clock properly with
timed_mutex.
This means that code using timed_mutex::try_lock_for or
timed_mutex::wait_until with steady_clock is no longer subject to timing
out early or potentially waiting for much longer if the system clock is
warped at an inopportune moment.
If pthread_mutex_clocklock is available then steady_clock is deemed to
be the "best" clock available which means that it is used for the
relative try_lock_for calls and absolute try_lock_until calls using
steady_clock and user-defined clocks. Calls explicitly using
system_clock (aka high_resolution_clock) continue to use CLOCK_REALTIME
via __gthread_cond_timedwait.
If pthread_mutex_clocklock is not available then system_clock is deemed
to be the "best" clock available which means that the previous
suboptimal behaviour remains.

detect presence of pthread_mutex_clocklock function.
* config.h.in: Regenerate.

(__timed_mutex_impl::_M_try_lock_for): Use best clock to turn relative
timeout into absolute timeout.
(__timed_mutex_impl::_M_try_lock_until): Keep existing implementation
for system_clock. Add new implementation for steady_clock that calls
_M_clocklock. Modify overload for user-defined clock to use a relative
wait so that it automatically uses the best clock.

New member function.
