rt: Turn forwards from librt to libc into compat symbols [BZ #24194]

Browse Source 
As the  result of commit 6e6249d0b4
("BZ#14743: Move clock_* symbols from librt to libc."), in glibc 2.17,
clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime, clock_getcpuclockid,
clock_nanosleep were added to libc, and the file rt/clock-compat.c
was added with forwarders to the actual implementations in libc.
These forwarders were wrapped in

#if SHLIB_COMPAT (librt, GLIBC_2_2, GLIBC_2_17)

so that they are not present for newer architectures (such as
powerpc64le) with a 2.17 or later ABI baseline.  But the forwarders
were not marked as compatibility symbols.  As a result, on older
architectures, historic configure checks such as

AC_CHECK_LIB(rt, clock_gettime)

still cause linking against librt, even though this is completely
unnecessary.  It also creates a needless porting hazard because
architectures behave differently when it comes to symbol availability.

* The functions clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime,
clock_getcpuclockid, clock_nanosleep were removed from the librt library
for new applications (on architectures which had them). Instead, the
definitions in libc will be used automatically, which have been available
since glibc 2.17.
