The pthread_cond_clockwait 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++/41861 by supporting std::chrono::steady_clock
properly with std::condition_variable.
This means that code using std::condition_variable::wait_for or
std::condition_variable::wait_until with std::chrono::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_cond_clockwait is available then std::chrono::steady_clock is
deemed to be the "best" clock available which means that it is used for
the relative wait_for calls and absolute wait_until calls using
user-defined clocks. Calls explicitly using std::chrono::system_clock
continue to use CLOCK_REALTIME via __gthread_cond_timedwait.
If pthread_cond_clockwait is not available then
std::chrono::system_clock is deemed to be the "best" clock available
which means that the previous suboptimal behaviour remains.
