Since av_gettime() is used in a number of places where actual
real time clock is required, the monotonic clock introduced in
ebef9f5a5 would have consequences that are hard to handle. Instead
split it into a separate function that can be used in the cases
where only relative time is desired.
On platform where no monotonic clock is available, the difference
between the two av_gettime functions is not clear, and one could
mistakenly use the relative clock where an absolute one is
required. Therefore add an offset, to make it evident that the
time returned from av_gettime_relative never is actual current
real time, even though it is based on av_gettime.
Based on a patch by Olivier Langlois.

These functions are using the POSIX clock_gettime() function with the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock id. If these are not present on the targeted
platform, the new functions will fallback on using the original realtime functions
av_gettime() and av_usleep().
Monotonic support can be added on other platforms with their
equivalent native system API eventually if possible.
Whenever time is requested to measure relative time, the monotonic clock,
when available, is superior to the system realtime clock because it is
not affected by discontinuous jumps in the system time
In a future step, offering the flexibility to let the user choose between
rt and monotonic clock for avdevices packets will be investigated.
It is very easy to experience the issues that this patch attempt to address
by rewinding back in the past the system time while ffmpeg is running.
this is breaking the ffmpeg report printing (ffmepg.c:print_report()) and
the the rate emulator functionality (-re) without the patch.

This function implements a delay using the first available
of the following functions:
- nanosleep()
- usleep()
- Sleep() (Windows)
The conditional #includes in time.c are simplified by including
unistd.h and windows.h whenever they are available rather than
having these lines triggered by specific functions.
