Removed CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST support.
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST, like CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, has low accuracy. It
shows noticeable timing variation for short intervals, which is visible
in metrics like $upstream_response_time for fast upstream responses.
This change complements the work started in commit
f29d7ade5.
In addition to the reasons described in
f29d7ade5, the performance of
CLOCK_MONOTONIC is good enough on modern hardware when using a TSC
timecounter. This is especially true when it is accessed through a
shared page, as implemented in FreeBSD 10.0 (see git commits
869fd80fd449 and
aea810386d8e for details).
