[PATCH 8/9] autoconf: Check for timer_settime

This function will be used in a following commit.

The timer_settime function is provided in librt on some systems. We already use this library sometimes to get clock_gettime, so rework the logic so we don't link with it twice.

This function was not previously used by git. This can cause trouble for people on systems without timer_settime if they only rely on config.mak.uname. They will need to set NO_TIMER_SETTIME manually.

Add proper replacement function macros for setitimer and timer_settime that evaluates the arguments and fails with ENOSYS to simulate stub implementations. This will be useful in a following commit.

This patch can be improved by finding out which systems doesn't have timer_settime and adding entries for them to config.mak.uname.
