The following API calls were removed:

- uhd::time_spec_t::get_system_time(). Migration guide: If you're using
C++11, there are actually std::chrono calls you can use, such as
std::chrono::system_clock::now().

- uhd::spin_wait_with_timeout(). Migration guide: There are plenty of
spinlock implementation available, pick whatever suits your need best.

- uhd::simple_claimer: This is effectively a lock with timeout
capabilities, C++ provides alternatives to that.


Note that all those API calls were flagged as 'DEPRECATED' for the 3.11
release cycle, we will do our best to flag API calls long before they're
due to go.

Cheers,
Martin
