timekeeping: Add the new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock

The planned change to unify the behaviour of the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME
clocks vs. suspend removes the ability to retrieve the active
non-suspended time of a system.

Provide a new CLOCK_MONOTONIC_ACTIVE clock which returns the active
non-suspended time of the system via clock_gettime().

This preserves the old behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC before the
BOOTTIME/MONOTONIC unification.

This new clock also allows applications to detect programmatically that
the MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME clocks are identical.
