Improve choice of clock sources at build time
- Documented the configure switch --with-clock-resolution=<RES>
- Changed default clock source for OS system time on Darwin to
gettimeofday(). In order to use clock_get_time(CALENDER_CLOCK, ...)
on Darwin, the user has to pass --with-clock-resolution=high when
configuring the build.
