Use monotonic clock to prevent timing issues

This patch replaces the gettimeofday()/timeval-system with
uses of clock_gettime() with a monolithic clock and timespec-structs.
gettimeofday() is not accurate and prone to jumps and POSIX.1-2008
marks it as obsolete. Read more here [0].

The patch should speak for itself and decreases the binary
size for me by almost 200K(!).
