[PATCH v1] Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW if available for get_clock().

[Joe Tanen]

CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW provides an unadjusted system clock on some platforms,
which is closer in spirit to providing a guest with a raw hardware clock than
CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

Using CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW also works around a current issue in OSX where
CLOCK_MONOTONIC has been observed to go backwards.

Since CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW might not be available on all platforms, revert to
using CLOCK_MONOTONIC if it is not present.
