Summary: CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on some systems

Initial Comment:
I've seen several Centos 3 i386 systems with this particular problem.

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) compiles and links correctly, but at runtime it will always fail and return -1. This causes curl to timeout before opening a socket when creating a https connection.

verbose output:
root@centos3edge [~]# /opt/curlssl/bin/curl -G https://www.google.com -v
* About to connect() to www.google.com port 443 (#0)
* Connection time-out
* Closing connection #0
curl: (28) Connection time-out

The attached patch checks for broken CLOCK_MONOTONIC support at configure time so that curl will fallback on gettimeofday() on these systems.
