runtime: use vDSO clock_gettime for time.now & runtime.nanotime on Linux/amd64
Performance improvement aside, time.Now() now gets real nanosecond resolution on supported systems. Benchmark done on Core i7-2600 @ 3.40GHz with kernel 3.5.2-gentoo. original vDSO gettimeofday: BenchmarkNow 100000000 27.4 ns/op new vDSO gettimeofday fallback: BenchmarkNow 100000000 27.6 ns/op new vDSO clock_gettime: BenchmarkNow 100000000 24.4 ns/op R=golang-dev, bradfitz, iant, iant CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/6814103
