[SystemZ][ZOS] Provide CLOCK_MONOTONIC alternative

We need CLOCK_MONOTONIC equivalent implementation for z/OS within libc++. The default implementation is asserting.

On z/OS the lack of  'clock_gettime()' and 'time_point()' force us to look for alternatives.
The current proposal is to use `gettimeofday()` for CLOCK_MONOTONIC  which is also used in CLOCK_REALTIME.  This will allow us to skip the assertion with compromised CLOCK_MONOTONIC implementation which will not guarantee to never go back in time because it will use `gettimeofday()` but only when it's set.

Is this a good compromise for platforms which does not support monotonic clock?
Hopefully this will spark the discussion and agreement how to proceed in this situation.
